Families of Integral Cographs within a Triangular Arrays

Abstract

The \emph{determinant Hosoya triangle}, is a triangular array where the entries are the determinants of two-by-two Fibonacci matrices. The determinant Hosoya triangle $\mathrm{mod}2$ gives rise to three infinite families of graphs, that are formed by complete product (join) of (the union of) two complete graphs with an empty graph. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph from these families to be integral. Some features of these graphs are: they are integral cographs, all graphs have at most five distinct eigenvalues, all graphs are either $d$-regular graphs with $d=2,4,6,\dots$ or almost-regular graphs, and some of them are Laplacian integral. Finally we extend some of these results to the Hosoya triangle.
