We study the eigenvalues of the unique connected anti-regular graph A n. Using Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, we obtain a trigonometric equation whose roots are the eigenvalues and perform elementary analysis to obtain an almost complete characterization of the eigenvalues. In particular, we show that the interval Ω=[− 1− 2 2,− 1+ 2 2] contains only the trivial eigenvalues λ=− 1 or λ= 0, and any closed interval strictly larger than Ω will contain eigenvalues of A n for all n sufficiently large. We also obtain bounds for the maximum and minimum eigenvalues, and for all other eigenvalues we obtain interval bounds that improve as n increases. Moreover, our approach reveals a more complete picture of the bipartite character of the eigenvalues of A n, namely, as n increases the eigenvalues are (approximately) symmetric about the number− 1 2. We also obtain an asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues as n→∞. Finally, the relationship between the eigenvalues of A n and the eigenvalues of a general threshold graph is discussed.
