Abstract: | Let be a simple connected graph with vertices and edges. The spectral radius of is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. In this paper, we firstly consider the effect on the spectral radius of a graph by removing a vertex, and then as an application of the result, we obtain a new sharp upper bound of which improves some known bounds: If , where is an integer, then The equality holds if and only if is a complete graph or , where is the graph obtained from by deleting some edge . |
