Ihara zeta function
The Ihara zeta function closely resembles the Selberg zeta function , and is used to relate the spectrum of the adjacency matrix of a graph to its Euler characteristic. It is given by
where M is the adjacency matrix.
The Ihara zeta function plays an important role in the study of free groups, spectral graph theory, and dynamical systems.
