In this paper, we investigate the Laplacian, i.e., the normalized Laplacian tensor of a k-uniform hypergraph. We show that the real parts of all the eigenvalues of the Laplacian are in the interval [0, 2], and the real part is zero (respectively two) if and only if the eigenvalue is zero (respectively two). All the H+-eigenvalues of the Laplacian and all the smallest H+-eigenvalues of its sub-t...

Let q (G) denote the spectral radius of the signless Laplacian matrix of a graph G, also known as the Q-index of G. The aim of this note is to study a general extremal problem: How large can q (G) be when G belongs to an abstract graph property? Even knowing very little about the graph property, this paper shows that useful conclusions about the asymptotics of q (G) can be made, which turn out ...
