A Universal upper bound on Graph Diameter based on Laplacian Eigenvalues

Abstract

We prove that the diameter of any unweighted connected graph G is O(k log n/lambdak), for any k>= 2. Here, lambdak is the k smallest eigenvalue of the normalized laplacian of G. This solves a problem posed by Gil Kalai.
