In general, it is difficult to determine if a graph is determined by spectrum. van Dam and Haemers (van Dam and Haemers 2002, Haemers 2016) noted that it is conceivable that almost all graphs have this property, i.e., that the fraction of graphs on vertices with a cospectral mate tends to zero as tends to infinity, an assertion sometimes known as Haemer's conjecture (Brouwer and Spence 2009, Wang and Wang 2024).
