multiplicity function of Sn for eigenvalues ±(n − k) where 1 k n+1 . The main result is
2

given by the following theorem.

Theorem 1. Let n, k ∈ Z, n 2 and 1 k n+1 , then the multiplicity mul(n − k) of
2
eigenvalue (n − k) of the Star graph Sn is calculated by the formula:

mul(n − k) = n2(k−1) + P (n),
(k − 1)!

where P (n) is a polynomial of degree 2k − 3.

In 2019, E. N. Khomyakova and E. V. Konstantinova [5] presented explicit formulas for cal-
culating multiplicities of eigenvalues ±(n − k) where 2 k 12 and firstly collected
computational results of all eigenvalue multiplicities for n 50 in a catalogue (https:
//link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40065-019-00271-z). This exact
values show that Theorem 1 holds for any n 2 and 1 k n. Authors used computa-
tional results to get diagrams with plotting them on a logarithmic scale with base 2 such that
the abscissa corresponds to the eigenvalues of the Star graphs Sn for a fixed n and the ordinate
corresponds to the multiplicities [4]. In case k is fixed, diagram looks like a polynomial func-
tion by Theorem 1. In case n is fixed, diagram in normal scale contains exponential rises and
falls appear. Thus the function may be a straight exponent for sufficiently large n, but it is just
conjecture.
