On the spectral characterization of kite graphs

The \textit{Kite graph}, denoted by $Kite_{p,q}$  is obtained by appending a complete graph $K_{p}$ to a pendant vertex of a path $P_{q}$. In this paper, firstly we show that no two non-isomorphic kite graphs are cospectral w.r.t the adjacency matrix. Let $G$ be a graph which is cospectral with $Kit...

In this paper, firstly we show that no two non-isomorphic kite graphs are cospectral w.r.t the adjacency matrix. Let $G$ be a graph which is cospectral with $Kite_{p,q}$ and let $w(G)$ be the clique number of $G$. Then, it is shown that $w(G)\geq p-2q+1$.
