A cactus is a connected graph in which any two cycles have at most one vertex in common. The signless Laplacian spread of a graph is defined as the difference between the largest eigenvalue and the smallest eigenvalue of the associated signless Laplacian matrix. In this paper, all cacti of order n with signless Laplacian spread greater than or equal to n − 1/2 are determined.

The Laplacian spread of a graph is defined to be the difference between the largest eigenvalue and the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of the graph. In this paper, we investigate Laplacian spread of graphs, and prove that there exist exactly five types of tricyclic graphs with maximum Laplacian spread among all tricyclic graphs of fixed order.

Graphs and Algorithms International audience The Laplacian spread of a graph is defined to be the difference between the largest eigenvalue and the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of the graph. In this paper, we show that the star is the unique tree with maximal Laplacian spread among all trees of given order, and the path is the unique one with minimal Laplacian spread among all trees of given order.

For a simple connected graph $G$, let $D(G)$, $Tr(G)$, $D^{L}(G)=Tr(G)-D(G)$, and $D^{Q}(G)=Tr(G)+D(G)$ be the distance matrix, the diagonal matrix of the vertex transmissions, the distance Laplacian matrix, and the distance signless Laplacian matrix of $G$, respectively. Atik and Panigrahi [2] suggested the study of the problem: Whether all eigenvalues, except the spectral radius, of $ D(G) $ and $ D^{Q}(G) $ lie in the smallest Ger\v{s}gorin disk? In this paper, we provide a negative answer by constructing an infinite family of counterexamples.

The eccentricity of a vertex [Formula: see text] in a graph [Formula: see text] is the maximum distance between [Formula: see text] and any other vertex of [Formula: see text] A vertex with maximum eccentricity is called a peripheral vertex. In this paper, we study the distance signless Laplacian matrix of a connected graph [Formula: see text] with respect to peripheral vertices and define the peripheral distance signless Laplacian matrix of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text]. We then give some bounds on various eigenvalues of [Formula: see text] Moreover, we define energy in terms of [Formula: see text] and give some bounds on the energy.

We consider the signless $p$-Laplacian $Q_p$ of a graph, a generalisation of the quadratic form of the signless Laplacian matrix (the case $p=2$). In analogy to Rayleigh's principle the minimum and maximum of $Q_p$ on the $p$-norm unit sphere are called its smallest and largest eigenvalues, respectively. We show a Perron-Frobenius property and basic inequalites for the largest eigenvalue and provide upper and lower bounds for the smallest eigenvalue in terms of a graph parameter related to the bipartiteness. The latter result generalises bounds by Desai and Rao and, interestingly, at $p=1$ upper and lower bounds coincide.

Let G be a connected graph with n vertices and m edges. Let q1, q2,..., qn be the eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix of G, where q1 ? q2 ? ... ? qn. The signless Laplacian Estrada index of G is defined as SLEE(G) = nPi=1 eqi. In this paper, we present some sharp lower bounds for SLEE(G) in terms of the k-degree and the first Zagreb index, respectively.

In this note, the graphs of order n having the largest distance Laplacian eigenvalue of multiplicity n −2 are characterized. In particular, it is shown that if the largest eigenvalue of the distance Laplacian matrix of a connected graph G of order n has multiplicity n − 2, then G = S_n or G = K_(p,p), where n = 2p. This resolves a conjecture proposed by M. Aouchiche and P. Hansen in [M. Aouchiche and P. Hansen. A Laplacian for the distance matrix of a graph. Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal, 64(3):751–761, 2014.]. Moreover, it is proved that if G has P_5 as an induced subgraph then the multiplicity of the largest eigenvalue of the distance Laplacian matrix of G is less than n − 3.

Let G be a simple graph of order n . The matrix ℒ G = D G − A G is called the Laplacian matrix of G , where D G and A G denote the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees and the adjacency matrix of G , respectively. Let l 1 G , l n − 1 G be the largest eigenvalue, the second smallest eigenvalue of ℒ G respectively, and λ 1 G be the largest eigenvalue of A G . In this paper, we will present sharp upper and lower bounds for l 1 G and l n − 1 G . Moreover, we investigate the relation between l 1 G and λ 1 G .

Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph. For any real number $\alpha \in[0,1]$, Nikiforov defined the $A_{\alpha}$-matrix of $G$ as $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$, where $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ are the adjacency matrix and the degree diagonal matrix of $G$, respectively. The $A_{\alpha}$-spread of a graph is defined as the difference between the largest eigenvalue and the smallest eigenvalue of the associated $A_{\alpha}$-matrix. In this paper, some lower and upper bounds on $A_{\alpha}$-spread are obtained, which extend the results of $A$-spread and $Q$-spread. Moreover, the trees with the minimum and the maximum $A_{\alpha}$-spread are determined, respectively.

The distance Laplacian matrix of a connected graph G is defined as ℒ G = Tr G − D G , where D G is the distance matrix of G and Tr G is the diagonal matrix of vertex transmissions of G . The largest eigenvalue of ℒ G is called the distance Laplacian spectral radius of G . In this paper, we determine the graphs with maximum and minimum distance Laplacian spectral radius among all clique trees with n vertices and k cliques. Moreover, we obtain n vertices and k cliques.
