Connected Q-integral graphs with maximum edge-degree less than or equal to 8

Graphs with integral signless Laplacian spectrum are called Q-integral graphs. The number of adjacent edges to an edge is defined as the edge-degree of that edge. The Q-spectral radius of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of its signless Laplacian. In 2019, Park and Sano [16] studied connected Q-integral graphs with the maximum edge-degree at most six. In this article, we extend their result and study the connected Q-integral graphs with maximum edge-degree less than or equal to eight. Further, we give an upper bound and a lower bound for the maximum edge-degree of a connected Q-integral graph with respect to its Q-spectral radius. As a corollary, we show that the Q-spectral radius of the connected edge-non-regular Q-integral graph with maximum edge-degree five is six, which we anticipate to be a key for solving the unsolved problem of characterizing such graphs.     

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).     

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.     

双圈图的无符号拉普拉斯谱半径和谱展

The signless Laplacian spread of a graph is defined to be the difference between the largest eigenvalue and the smallest eigenvalue of its signless Laplacian matrix. In this paper, we determine the first to llth largest signless Laplacian spectral radii in the class of bicyclic graphs with n vertices. Moreover, the unique bicyclic graph with the largest or the second largest signless Laplacian spread among the class of connected bicyclic graphs of order n is determined, respectively.     

On the second largest Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs

The second largest Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph is the second largest eigenvalue of the associated Laplacian matrix. In this paper, we study extremal graphs for the extremal values of the second largest Laplacian eigenvalue and the Laplacian separator of a connected graph, respectively. All simple connected graphs with second largest Laplacian eigenvalue at most 3 are characterized. It is also shown that graphs with second largest Laplacian eigenvalue at most 3 are determined by their Laplacian spectrum. Moreover, the graphs with maximum and the second maximum Laplacian separators among all connected graphs are determined.     

Theorems on partitioned matrices revisited and their applications to graph spectra

Some old results about spectra of partitioned matrices due to Goddard and Schneider or Haynsworth are re-proved. A new result is given for the spectrum of a block-stochastic matrix with the property that each off-diagonal block has equal entries and each diagonal block has equal diagonal entries and equal off-diagonal entries. The result is applied to the study of the spectra of the usual graph matrices by partitioning the vertex set of the graph according to the neighborhood equivalence relation. The concept of a reduced graph matrix is introduced. The question of when n-2 is the second largest signless Laplacian eigenvalue of a connected graph of order n is treated. A recent conjecture posed by Tam, Fan and Zhou on graphs that maximize the signless Laplacian spectral radius over all (not necessarily connected) graphs with given numbers of vertices and edges is refuted. The Laplacian spectrum of a (degree) maximal graph is reconsidered.     

Trees, unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs with exactly two Q-main eigenvalues

The signless Laplacian matrix of a graph G is defined to be the sum of its adjacency matrix and degree diagonal matrix, and its eigenvalues are called Q-eigenvalues of G. A Q-eigenvalue of a graph G is called a Q-main eigenvalue if it has an eigenvector the sum of whose entries is not equal to zero. In this work, all trees, unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs with exactly two Q-main eigenvalues are determined.     

Q‐integral unicyclic,bicyclic and tricyclic graphs

A graph is called Q‐integral if its signless Laplacian spectrum consists of integers. In this paper, we characterize a class of k‐cyclic graphs whose second smallest signless Laplacian eigenvalue is less than one. Using this result we determine all the Q‐integral unicyclic, bicyclic and tricyclic graphs.

Let G be a simple connected graph with pendant vertex set ?V and nonpendant vertex set V_0. The signless Laplacian matrix of G is denoted by Q(G). The signless Dirichlet eigenvalue is a real number λ such that there exists a function f ≠ 0 on V(G) such that Q(G)f(u) = λf(u) for u ∈ V_0 and f(u) = 0 for u ∈ ?V. The signless Dirichlet spectral radiusλ(G) is the largest signless Dirichlet eigenvalue. In this paper, the unicyclic graphs with the largest signless Dirichlet spectral radius among all unicyclic graphs with a given degree sequence are characterized.     

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.     

Some further bounds for the Q-index of nested split graphs

The Q-index of a simple graph is the largest eigenvalue of its signless Laplacian, or Q-matrix. In our previous paper [1] we gave three lower and three upper bounds for the Q-index of nested split graphs, also known as threshold graphs. In this paper, we give another two upper bounds, which are expressed as solutions of cubic equations (in contrast to quadratics from [1]). Some computational results are also included.

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.

We first show that ■, where δiand di denote the i-th signless Laplacian eigenvalue and the i-th degree of vertex in G, respectively.Suppose G is a simple and connected graph, then some inequalities on the distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues are obtained by deleting some vertices and some edges from G. In addition, for the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius ρQ(G), we determine the extremal graphs with the minimum ρQ(G) among the trees with given diameter, the unicyclic and bicyclic graphs with given girth, respectively.

Also we obtain the unique graph with second maximal Q-index among all Halin graphs of order n.
