This inequality is closely related to the [[Cheeger bound]] for [[Markov chains]] and can be seen as a discrete version of [[Cheeger constant#Cheeger.27s inequality|Cheeger's inequality]] in [[Riemannian geometry]].
For general connected graphs that are not necessarily regular, an alternative inequality is given by Chung<ref name=chung>{{cite book |
:<math> \frac{1}{2} {\lambda} \le {\mathbf h}(G) \le \sqrt{2 \lambda},</math>
where <math>\lambda</math> is the least nontrivial eigenvalue of the normalized Laplacian, and <math>{\mathbf h}(G)</math> is the (normalized) Cheeger constant

==Historical outline==
Spectral graph theory emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Besides [[graph theory|graph theoretic]] research on the relationship between structural and spectral properties of graphs, another major source was research in [[quantum chemistry]], but the connections between these two lines of work were not discovered until much later.<ref name= cvet2>''Eigenspaces of Graphs'', by [[Dragoš Cvetković]], Peter Rowlinson, Slobodan Simić (1997) {{isbn|0-521-57352-1}}</ref> The 1980 monograph ''Spectra of Graphs''<ref>Dragoš M. Cvetković, Michael Doob, [[Horst Sachs]], ''Spectra of Graphs'' (1980)</ref> by Cvetković, Doob, and Sachs summarised nearly all research to date in the area. In 1988 it was updated by the survey ''Recent Results in the Theory of Graph Spectra''.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Dragoš M.|last1=Cvetković |first2=Michael |last2=Doob |first3=Ivan |last3=Gutman |first4=A. |last4=Torgasev |title=Recent Results in the Theory of Graph Spectra |series=Annals of Discrete mathematics |number=36 |year=1988 |isbn=0-444-70361-6 |url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/bookseries/01675060/36}}</ref> The 3rd edition of ''Spectra of Graphs'' (1995) contains a summary of the further recent contributions to the subject.<ref name= cvet2/> Discrete geometric analysis created and developed by [[Toshikazu Sunada]] in the 2000s deals with spectral graph theory in terms of discrete Laplacians associated with weighted graphs,<ref>{{citation | last = Sunada | first = Toshikazu | journal = Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics | pages = 51–86 | title = Discrete geometric analysis | volume = 77 | year = 2008| doi = 10.1090/pspum/077/2459864 | isbn = 9780821844717 }}.</ref> and finds application in various fields, including [[Spectral shape analysis|shape analysis]]. In most recent years, the spectral graph theory has expanded to vertex-varying graphs often encountered in many real-life applications.<ref>{{Cite journal|
