PIONEERING WOMEN IN SPECTRAL GRAPH THEORY: CONTRIBUTIONS AND IMPACT

Abstract

Spectral graph theory, a field that examines the properties of graphs through the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices associated with them, has seen significant contributions from pioneering women. This research paper explores the groundbreaking work of women who have shaped the field, their major contributions, and the lasting impact of their research. We highlight key advancements made by these mathematicians, analyze their influence on contemporary spectral graph theory, and discuss ongoing developments inspired by their work.
