Let G be a graph with n vertices, and let A (G) and D (G) denote respectively the adjacency matrix and the degree matrix of G. Define A α (G)= α D (G)+(1− α) A (G) for any real α∈[0, 1]. The A α-characteristic polynomial of G is defined to be det (x I n− A α (G))=∑ j c α j (G) x n− j, where det (⁎) denotes the determinant of⁎, and I n is the identity matrix of size n. The A α-spectrum of G consists of all roots of the A α-characteristic polynomial of G. A graph G is said to be determined by its A α-spectrum if all graphs having the same A α-spectrum as G are isomorphic to G. In this paper, we first formulate the first four coefficients c α 0 (G), c α 1 (G), c α 2 (G) and c α 3 (G) of the A α-characteristic polynomial of G. And then, we observe that A α-spectra are much efficient for us to distinguish graphs, by enumerating the A α-characteristic polynomials for all graphs on at most 10 vertices. To verify this observation, we characterize some graphs determined by their A α-spectra.
