Tricyclic graphs with exactly two main eigenvalues

An eigenvalue of a graph G is called a main eigenvalue if it has an eigenvector the sum of whose entries is not equal to zero. Let G ₀ be the graph obtained from G by deleting all pendant vertices and δ(G) the minimum degree of vertices of G. In this paper, all connected tricyclic graphs G with δ(G ₀) ≥ 2 and exactly two main eigenvalues are determined.
