Faught–Nordhaus–Gaddum spectral-gap sum conjecture
Let be a graph on vertices, and let denote its complement. Assume that both and are connected; denotes the difference between the two largest eigenvalues of the transition probability matrix of the random walk on . Faught–Nordhaus–Gaddum sum conjecture.
This is a sum version of the Nordhaus–Gaddum problem for spectral gaps, under the connectivity hypotheses that make both gaps applicable. Its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
