Graphs with small diameter determined by their $D$-spectra

Abstract: Let $G$ be a connected graph with vertex set $V(G)={v_{1},v_{2},...,v_{n}}$. The distance matrix $D(G)=(d_{ij}){n\times n}$ is the matrix indexed by the vertices of $G,$ where $d{ij}$ denotes the distance between the vertices $v_{i}$ and $v_{j}$. Suppose that $\lambda_{1}(D)\geq\lambda_{2}(D)\geq\cdots\geq\lambda_{n}(D)$ are the distance spectrum of $G$. The graph $G$ is said to be determined by its $D$-spectrum if with respect to the distance matrix $D(G)$, any graph having the same spectrum as $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. In this paper, we give the distance characteristic polynomial of some graphs with small diameter, and also prove that these graphs are determined by their $D$-spectra.
