For undirected graphs it has been known for some time that one can bound the diameter using the eigenvalues. In this note we give a similar result for the diameter of strongly connected directed graphs G, namely D(G) <= [log(2-lambda)/(2)/2 min(x)log(1/phi(x))] + 1 where lambda is the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian and phi is the Perron vector of the transition probability matrix of a random walk on G. |
