The spectrum of an infinite directed graph. (English) Zbl 0754.47004

Summary: Mohar established the principle on spectra of infinite graphs:
(i) the spectrum of a graph is symmetric for the real axis (actually contained in it),
(ii) the spectral radius of a graph is a spectre, and
(iii) the spectral radius is monotone as a function of graphs.
In this note, we show Mohar’s principles for infinite directed graphs. In addition, we estimate the isoperimetric number and the chromatic one by the spectral radius.
