Abstract
We give some new bounds for the clique and independence numbers of a graph in terms of its eigenvalues. In particular we prove the following results.Let G be a graph of order n, average degree d , independence number α(G)α(G), and clique number ω(G)ω(G).(i) If μnμn is the smallest eigenvalue of G, thenω(G)⩾1+dn(n−d)(d−μn). Equality holds if and only if G is a complete regular ω-partite graph.(ii) if μn¯ is the smallest eigenvalue of the complement of G , and 2⩽d
