Abstract

Star complements and associated quadratic functions are used to obtain a sharp upper bound for the order of a graph with an eigenspace of prescribed codimension. It is shown that for regular graphs the bound can be reduced by 1, and that this reduced bound is attained by a regular graph $G$ if and only if $G$ is an extremal strongly regular graph.
