Abstract:
We perform an extensive numerical analysis of beta-skeleton graphs, a particular type of proximity graphs. In beta-skeleton graph (BSG) two vertices are connected if a proximity rule, that depends of the parameter beta is an element of (0, infinity), is satisfied. Moreover, for beta > 1 there exist two different proximity rules, leading to lune-based and circle-based BSGs. First, by computing the average degree of large ensembles of BSGs we detect differences, which increase with the increase of beta, between lune-based and circle-based BSGs. Then, within a random matrix theory (RMT) approach, we explore spectral and eigenvector properties of random BSGs by the use of the nearest-neighbor energy-level spacing distribution and the entropic eigenvector localization length, respectively. The RMT analysis allows us to conclude that a localization transition occurs at beta = 1.
