چکیده

The parameter σ(G) of a graph G stands for the number of Laplacian eigenvalues greater than or equal to the average degree of G. In this work, we address the problem of characterizing those graphs G having σ(G) = 1. Our conjecture is that these graphs are stars plus a (possible empty) set of isolated vertices. We establish a link between σ(G) and the number of anticomponents of G. As a by-product, we present some results which support the conjecture, by restricting our analysis to some classes of graphs.

On Complementary Distance Signless Laplacian Spectral Radius and Energy of Graphs

Let $D$ be a diameter and $d_G(v_i, v_j)$ be the distance between the vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ of a connected graph $G$. The complementary distance signless Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is $CDL^+(G)=[c_{ij}]$ in which $c_{ij}=1+D-d_G(v_i, v_j)$ if $ineq j$ and $c_{ii}=sum_{j=1}^{n}(1+D-d_G(v_i, v_j))$. The complementary transmission $CT_G(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is defined as $CT_G(v)=sum_{u in ...

Counting the number of spanning trees of graphs

A spanning tree of graph G is a spanning subgraph of G that is a tree. In this paper, we focus our attention on (n,m) graphs, where m = n, n + 1, n + 2, n+3 and n + 4. We also determine some coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of fullerene graphs.

Characterization of Trivalent Graphs with Minimal Eigenvalue Gap*

Among all trivalent graphs on n vertices, let Gn be one with the smallest possible eigenvalue gap. (The eigenvalue gap is the difference between the two largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix; for regular graphs, it equals the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix.) We show that Gn is unique for each n and has maximum diameter. This extends work of Guiduli and solves a conject...

Spectral Characterization of Graphs with Small Second Largest Laplacian Eigenvalue

The family G of connected graphs with second largest Laplacian eigenvalue at most θ, where θ = 3.2470 is the largest root of the equation μ−5μ+6μ−1 = 0, is characterized by Wu, Yu and Shu [Y.R. Wu, G.L. Yu and J.L. Shu, Graphs with small second largest Laplacian eigenvalue, European J. Combin. 36 (2014) 190–197]. Let G(a, b, c, d) be a graph with order n = 2a + b + 2c + 3d + 1 that consists of ...
