The Laplacian spectral radius of trees and maximum vertex degree

Let $\Delta \left(T\right)$ and $\mu \left(T\right)$ denote the maximum degree and the Laplacian spectral radius of a tree $T$, respectively. In this paper we prove that for two trees $T_1$ and $T_2$ on $n(n\ge 21)$ vertices, if $\Delta \left(T_1\right)>\Delta \left(T_2\right)$ and $\Delta \left(T_1\right)\ge ?\frac{11n}{30}?+1$, then $\mu \left(T_1\right)>\mu \left(T_2\right)$, and the bound “$\Delta \left(T_1\right)\ge ?\frac{11n}{30}?+1$” is the best possible. We also prove that for two trees $T_1$ and $T_2$ on $2k(k\ge 4)$ vertices with perfect matchings, if $\Delta \left(T_1\right)>\Delta \left(T_2\right)$ and $\Delta \left(T_1\right)\ge ?\frac{k}{2}?+2$, then $\mu \left(T_1\right)>\mu \left(T_2\right)$.
