Let Wn = K1 ∨ Cn−1 be the wheel graph on n vertices, and let S(n, c, k) be the graph on n vertices obtained by attaching n− 2c− 2k − 1 pendant edges together with k hanging paths of length two at vertex v0, where v0 is the unique common vertex of c triangles. In this paper we show that S(n, c, k) (c > 1, k > 1) and Wn are determined by their signless Laplacian spectra, respectively. Moreover, w...

One of the best known results in spectral graph theory is the following lower bound on the chromatic number due to Alan Hoffman, where μ1 and μn are respectively the maximum and minimum eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix: χ ≥ 1+μ1/−μn. We recently generalised this bound to include all eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix. In this paper, we further generalize these results to include all eigenva...

For a simple graph G, let e(G) denote the number of edges and Sk(G) denote the sum of the k largest eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix of G. We conjecture that for any graph G with n vertices, Sk(G) ≤ e(G) + k+1 2 for k = 1, . . . , n. We prove the conjecture for k = 2 for any graph, and for all k for regular graphs. The conjecture is an analogous to a conjecture by A.E. Brouwer with ...

Let G be a graph of order n with signless Laplacian eigenvalues q1, . . . , qn and Laplacian eigenvalues μ1, . . . , μn. It is proved that for any real number α with 0 < α 6 1 or 2 6 α < 3, the inequality qα 1 + · · · + qα n > μ1 + · · · + μn holds, and for any real number β with 1 < β < 2, the inequality q 1 + · · ·+ q n 6 μβ1 + · · ·+ μ β n holds. In both inequalities, the equality is attaine...

Let G be a connected graph of order n. The remoteness of G, denoted by ρ, is the maximum average distance from a vertex to all other vertices. Let [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be the distance, distance Laplacian and distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues of G, respectively. In this paper, we give lower bounds on [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [For...
