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. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 05C50.
