Abstract

The expansion properties of regular graphs are investigated. The best previously known expansion of subsets of linear size of explicit k-regular graphs is k/4. This bound is achieved by nonbipartite Ramanujan graphs of degree k=p+1, which have the property that all but the largest eigenvalue have absolute value at most 2 square root p. The expansion coefficient for linear subsets for nonbipartite Ramanujan graphs is improved to 3(k-2)/8. Other results are established, including improved results about random walks on expanders.
