The join of two disjoint graphs G and H, denoted by G ∨ H, is the graph obtained by joining each vertex of G to each vertex of H. In this paper, the signless Laplacian characteristic polynomial of the join of two graphs is first formulated. And then, a lower bound for the i-th largest signless Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph is given. Finally, it is proved that G ∨ K_m, where G is an (n − 2)-regular graph on n vertices, and K_n ∨ K_2 except for n = 3, are determined by their signless Laplacian spectra.

The Kirchhoff index ofGis the sum of resistance distances between all pairs of vertices ofGin electrical networks.LEL(G)is the Laplacian-Energy-Like Invariant ofGin chemistry. In this paper, we define two classes of join graphs: the subdivision-vertex-vertex joinG1⊚G2and the subdivision-edge-edge joinG1⊝G2. We determine the generalized characteristic polynomial of them. We deduce the adjacency (Laplacian and signless Laplacian, resp.) characteristic polynomials ofG1⊚G2andG1⊝G2whenG1isr1-regular graph andG2isr2-regular graph. As applications, the Laplacian spectra enable us to get the formulas of the number of spanning trees, Kirchhoff index, andLELofG1⊚G2andG1⊝G2in terms of the Laplacian spectra ofG1andG2.

Sharp Lower Bound

Given a connected regular graph $G$, let $l(G)$ be its line graph, $s(G)$ its subdivision graph, $r(G)$ the graph obtained from $G$ by adding a new vertex corresponding to each edge of $G$ and joining each new vertex to the end vertices of the corresponding edge and $q(G)$ the graph obtained from $G$ by inserting a new vertex into every edge of $G$ and new edges joining the pairs of new vertices which lie on adjacent edges of $G$. A formula for the normalised Laplacian characteristic polynomial of $l(G)$ (respectively $s(G),r(G)$ and $q(G)$) in terms of the normalised Laplacian characteristic polynomial of $G$ and the number of vertices and edges of $G$ is developed and used to give a sharp lower bound for the degree-Kirchhoff index and a formula for the number of spanning trees of $l(G)$ (respectively $s(G),r(G)$ and $q(G)$).

Spectral Characterizations

A dumbbell graph, denoted by $D_{a,b,c}$, is a bicyclic graph consisting of two vertex-disjoint cycles $C_a$, $C_b$ and a path $P_{c+3}$ ($c \geq -1$) joining them having only its end-vertices in common with the two cycles. In this paper, we study the spectral characterization w.r.t. the adjacency spectrum of $D_{a,b,0}$ (without cycles $C_4$) with $\gcd(a,b)\geq 3$, and we complete the research started in [J.F. Wang et al., A note on the spectral characterization of dumbbell graphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 431 (2009) 1707–1714]. In particular we show that $D_{a,b,0}$ with $3 \leq \gcd(a,b) < a$ or $\gcd(a,b)=a$ and $b\neq 3a$ is determined by the spectrum. For $b=3a$, we determine the unique graph cospectral with $D_{a,3a,0}$. Furthermore we give the spectral characterization w.r.t. the signless Laplacian spectrum of all dumbbell graphs.

Sum Of Distances

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a $k$-connected graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. Let $D(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G$. Suppose $\lambda_1(D)\geq \cdots \geq \lambda_n(D)$ are the $D$-eigenvalues of $G$. The transmission of $v_i \in V(G)$, denoted by $Tr_G(v_i)$ is defined to be the sum of distances from $v_i$ to all other vertices of $G$, i.e., the row sum $D_{i}(G)$ of $D(G)$ indexed by vertex $v_i$ and suppose that $D_1(G)\geq \cdots \geq D_n(G)$. The $Wiener~ index$ of $G$ denoted by $W(G)$ is given by $W(G)=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^{n}D_i(G)$. Let $Tr(G)$ be the $n\times n$ diagonal matrix with its $(i,i)$-entry equal to $TrG(v_i)$. The distance signless Laplacian matrix of $G$ is defined as $D^Q(G)=Tr(G)+D(G)$ and its spectral radius is denoted by $\rho_1(D^Q(G))$ or $\rho_1$. A connected graph $G$ is said to be $t$-transmission-regular if $Tr_G(v_i) =t$ for every vertex $v_i\in V(G)$, otherwise, non-transmission-regular. In this paper, we respectively estimate $D_1(G)-\lambda_1(G)$ and $2D_1(G)-\rho_1(G)$ for a $k$-connected non-transmission-regular graph in different ways and compare these obtained results. And we conjecture that $D_1(G)-\lambda_1(G)>\frac{1}{n+1}$. Moreover, we show that the conjecture is valid for trees.

The signless Laplacian polynomial of a graph G is the characteristic polynomial of the matrix Q(G)=D(G)+A(G), where D(G) is the diagonal degree matrix and A(G) is the adjacency matrix of G. In this paper we express the signless Laplacian polynomial in terms of the characteristic polynomial of the induced subgraphs, and, for regular graph, the signless Laplacian polynomial is expressed in terms of the derivatives of the characteristic polynomial. Using this we obtain the characteristic polynomial of line graph and subdivision graph in terms of the characteristic polynomial of induced subgraphs.

Abstract A new lower bound on the largest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian spectra for graphs with at least one (κ,τ)regular set is introduced and applied to the recognition of non-Hamiltonian graphs or graphs without a perfect matching. Furthermore, computational experiments revealed that the introduced lower bound is better than the known ones. The paper also gives sufficient condition for a graph to be non Hamiltonian (or without a perfect matching).

Let $\mathcal{A}(H)$ and $\mathcal{Q}(H)$ be the adjacency tensor and signless Laplacian tensor of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$. Denote by $\rho(H)$ and $\rho(\mathcal{Q}(H))$ the spectral radii of $\mathcal{A}(H)$ and $\mathcal{Q}(H)$, respectively. In this paper we present a  lower bound on $\rho(H)$ in terms of vertex degrees and we characterize the extremal hypergraphs attaining the bound, which solves a problem posed by Nikiforov [Analytic methods for uniform hypergraphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 457 (2014) 455–535]. Also, we prove a lower bound on $\rho(\mathcal{Q}(H))$ concerning degrees and give a characterization of the extremal hypergraphs attaining the bound.

Let G be a mixed graph and L(G) be the Laplacian matrix of G. In this paper, the coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of G are studied. The first derivative of the characteristic polynomial of L(G) is explicitly expressed by means of Laplacian characteristic polynomials of its edge deleted subgraphs. As a consequence, it is shown that the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of a mixed graph is reconstructible from the collection of the Laplacian characteristic polynomials of its edge deleted subgraphs. Then, it is investigated how graph modifications affect the mixed Laplacian characteristic polynomial. Also, a connection between the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of a non-singular connected mixed graph and the signless Laplacian characteristic polynomial is provided, and it is used to establish a lower bound for the spectral radius of L(G). Finally, using Coates digraphs, the perturbation of the mixed Laplacian spectral radius under some graph transformations is discussed.
