The (signless) Laplacian spectral radius of unicyclic and bicyclic graphs with <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> vertices and <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis> pendant vertices

In this paper, the effects on the signless Laplacian spectral radius of a graph are studied when some operations, such as edge moving, edge subdividing, are applied to the graph. Moreover, the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius among the all unicyclic graphs with n vertices and k pendant vertices is identified. Furthermore, we determine the graphs with the largest Laplacian spectral radii among the all unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs with n vertices and k pendant vertices, respectively.

On the Laplacian spectral radii of bicyclic graphs

A graph G of order n is called a bicyclic graph if G is connected and the number of edges of G is n+1. Let B(n) be the set of all bicyclic graphs on n vertices. In this paper, we obtain the first four largest Laplacian spectral radii among all the graphs in the class B(n) (n≥7) together with the corresponding graphs.     

An edge-grafting theorem on Laplacian spectra of graphs and its application

Let 𝒰(n,?d) be the class of unicyclic graphs on n vertices with diameter d. This article presents an edge-grafting theorem on Laplacian spectra of graphs. By applying this theorem, we determine the unique graph with the maximum Laplacian spectral radius in 𝒰(n,?d). This extremal graph is different from that for the corresponding problem on the adjacency spectral radius as done by Liu et al. [Q. Liu, M. Lu, and F. Tian, On the spectral radius of unicyclic graphs with fixed diameter, Linear Algebra Appl. 420 (2007), 449–457].     

On the Laplacian spectral radii of bipartite graphs

The Laplacian spectral radius of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of the associated Laplacian matrix. In this paper, we provide structural and behavioral details of graphs with maximum Laplacian spectral radius among all bipartite connected graphs of given order and size. Using these results, we provide a unified approach to determine the graphs with maximum Laplacian spectral radii among all trees, and all bipartite unicyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic and quasi-tree graphs, respectively.

The signless Laplacian spectral radius of graphs with given degree sequences

In this paper, we investigate the properties of the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius in the set of all simple connected graphs with a given degree sequence. These results are used to characterize the unicyclic graphs that have the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius for a given unicyclic graphic degree sequence. Moreover, all extremal unicyclic graphs having the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius are obtained in the sets of all unicyclic graphs of order n with a specified number of leaves or maximum degree or independence number or matching number.

Bounds on the eigenvalues of graphs with cut vertices or edges

In this paper, we characterize the extremal graph having the maximal Laplacian spectral radius among the connected bipartite graphs with n vertices and k cut vertices, and describe the extremal graph having the minimal least eigenvalue of the adjacency matrices of all the connected graphs with n vertices and k cut edges. We also present lower bounds on the least eigenvalue in terms of the number of cut vertices or cut edges and upper bounds on the Laplacian spectral radius in terms of the number of cut vertices.     

On the signless Laplacian index of cacti with a given number of pendant vertices

A connected graph G is a cactus if any two of its cycles have at most one common vertex. In this article, we determine graphs with the largest signless Laplacian index among all the cacti with n vertices and k pendant vertices. As a consequence, we determine the graph with the largest signless Laplacian index among all the cacti with n vertices; we also characterize the n-vertex cacti with a perfect matching having the largest signless Laplacian index.     

谱半径前五位的$n$阶拟树图

A connected graph G =(V, E) is called a quasi-tree graph, if there exists a vertex v_0 ∈ V(G) such that G-v_0 is a tree. Liu and Lu [Linear Algebra Appl. 428(2008) 2708-2714] determined the maximal spectral radius together with the corresponding graph among all quasi-tree graphs on n vertices. In this paper, we extend their result, and determine the second to the fifth largest spectral radii together with the corresponding graphs among all quasi-tree graphs on n vertices.     

The Laplacian spectral radius for unicyclic graphs with given independence number

In this paper, we give a complete characterization of the extremal graphs with maximal Laplacian spectral radius among all unicyclic graphs with given order and given number of pendent vertices. Then we study the Laplacian spectral radius of unicyclic graphs with given independence number and characterize the extremal graphs completely.     

Maximality of the signless Laplacian energy

We study the problem of determining the graph with $n$ vertices having largest signless Laplacian energy. We conjecture it is the complete split graph whose independent set has (roughly) $2n∕3$ vertices. We show that the conjecture is true for several classes of graphs. In particular, the conjecture holds for the set of all complete split graphs of order $n$, for trees, for unicyclic and bicyclic graphs. We also give conditions on the number of edges, number of cycles and number of small eigenvalues so the graph satisfies the conjecture.     

Minimizing the least eigenvalue of unicyclic graphs with fixed diameter

Let U(n,d) be the set of unicyclic graphs on n vertices with diameter d. In this article, we determine the unique graph with minimal least eigenvalue among all graphs in U(n,d). It is found that the extremal graph is different from that for the corresponding problem on maximal eigenvalue as done by Liu et al. [H.Q. Liu, M. Lu, F. Tian, On the spectral radius of unicyclic graphs with fixed diameter, Linear Algebra Appl. 420 (2007) 449-457].     

The signless Laplacian spectral radius of bicyclic graphs with prescribed degree sequences

In this paper, we characterize all extremal connected bicyclic graphs with the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius in the set of all connected bicyclic graphs with prescribed degree sequences. Moreover, the signless Laplacian majorization theorem is proved to be true for connected bicyclic graphs. As corollaries, all extremal connected bicyclic graphs having the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius are obtained in the set of all connected bicyclic graphs of order n (resp. all connected bicyclic graphs with a specified number of pendant vertices, and all connected bicyclic graphs with given maximum degree).     

On the spectral radii and the signless Laplacian spectral radii of c-cyclic graphs with fixed maximum degree

If G is a connected undirected simple graph on n vertices and n+c-1 edges, then G is called a c-cyclic graph. Specially, G is called a tricyclic graph if c=3. Let Δ(G) be the maximum degree of G. In this paper, we determine the structural characterizations of the c-cyclic graphs, which have the maximum spectral radii (resp. signless Laplacian spectral radii) in the class of c-cyclic graphs on n vertices with fixed maximum degree . Moreover, we prove that the spectral radius of a tricyclic graph G strictly increases with its maximum degree when , and identify the first six largest spectral radii and the corresponding graphs in the class of tricyclic graphs on n vertices.     

The Laplacian spread of quasi-tree graphs

The Laplacian spread of a graph is defined to be the difference between the largest eigenvalue and the second-smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of the graph. Bao, Tan and Fan [Y.H. Bao, Y.Y. Tan,Y.Z. Fan, The Laplacian spread of unicyclic graphs, Appl. Math. Lett. 22 (2009) 1011-1015.] characterize the unique unicyclic graph with maximum Laplacian spread among all connected unicyclic graphs of fixed order. In this paper, we characterize the unique quasi-tree graph with maximum Laplacian spread among all quasi-tree graphs in the set Q(n,d) with .
