contents A graph is called bivalent or trivalent if there exists an eigenvector of the graph Laplacian composed from {-1,1} or {-1,0,1}, respectively. These bivalent and trivalent eigenvectors are important for engineering applications, in particular for vibrating systems. In this article, we determine the structure of bivalent and trivalent graphs in the following planar graph families: trees, unicyclic, bicyclic, and cactus.
