Generalized Eigenvectors of Isospectral Transformations,Spectral Equivalence and Reconstruction of Original Networks

Isospectral transformations (IT) of matrices and networks allow for compression of either object while keeping all the information about their eigenvalues and eigenvectors.We analyze here what happens to generalized eigenvectors under isospectral transformations and to what extent the initial network can be reconstructed from its compressed image under IT. We also generalize and essentially simplify the proof that eigenvectors are invariant under isospectral transformations and generalize and clarify the notion of spectral equivalence of networks.
