The Matrix

Abstract The distance matrix 𝒟(G) of a connected graph G is the matrix containing the pairwise distances between vertices. The transmission of a vertex vi in G is the sum of the distances from vi to all other vertices and T(G) is the diagonal matrix of transmissions of the vertices of the graph. The normalized distance Laplacian, 𝒟𝒧(G) = I−T(G)−1/2 𝒟(G)T(G)−1/2, is introduced. This is analogous to the normalized Laplacian matrix, 𝒧(G) = I − D(G)−1/2 A(G)D(G)−1/2, where D(G) is the diagonal matrix of degrees of the vertices of the graph and A(G) is the adjacency matrix. Bounds on the spectral radius of 𝒟 𝒧 and connections with the normalized Laplacian matrix are presented. Twin vertices are used to determine eigenvalues of the normalized distance Laplacian. The distance generalized characteristic polynomial is defined and its properties established. Finally, 𝒟𝒧-cospectrality and lack thereof are determined for all graphs on 10 and fewer vertices, providing evidence that the normalized distance Laplacian has fewer cospectral pairs than other matrices.

Simple Connected Graph

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 Relationship

The harmonic index of a conected graph G is defined as H(G) = ∑ uv∈E(G) 2 d(u)+d-(v), where E(G) is the edge set of G, d(u) and d(v) are the degrees of vertices u and v, respectively. The spectral radius of a square matrix M is the maximum among the absolute values of the eigenvalues of M. Let q(G) be the spectral radius of the signless Laplacian matrix Q(G) = D(G) + A(G), where D(G) is the diagonal matrix having degrees of the vertices on the main diagonal and A(G) is the (0, 1) adjacency matrix of G. The harmonic index of a graph G and the spectral radius of the matrix Q(G) have been extensively studied. We investigate the relationship between the harmonic index of a graph G and the spectral radius of the matrix Q(G). We prove that for a connected graph G with n vertices, we have ( 2 || ----n----- ||{ 2 (n − 1), if n ≥ 6, -q(G-)- ≤ | 16-, if n = 5, H (G ) || 5 |( 3, if n = 4, and the bounds are best possible.

The Absolute

The distance matrix $\mathcal{D}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the matrix containing the pairwise distances between vertices, and the distance Laplacian matrix is $\mathcal{D}^L (G)=T(G)-\mathcal{D} (G)$, where $T(G)$ is the diagonal matrix of row sums of $\mathcal{D}(G)$. Several general methods are established for producing $\mathcal{D}^L$-cospectral graphs that can be used to construct infinite families. Examples are provided to show that various properties are not preserved by $\mathcal{D}^L$-cospectrality, including examples of $\mathcal{D}^L$-cospectral strongly regular and circulant graphs. It is established that the absolute values of coefficients of the distance Laplacian characteristic polynomial are decreasing, i.e., $|\delta^L_{1}|\geq \cdots \geq |\delta^L_{n}|$, where $\delta^L_{k}$ is the coefficient of $x^k$.

The Largest Eigenvalue

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.

Let G be a graph, for any real 0≤α≤1, Nikiforov defines the matrix Aα(G) as Aα(G)=αD(G)+(1−α)A(G), where A(G) and D(G) are the adjacency matrix and diagonal matrix of degrees of the vertices of G. This paper presents some extremal results about the spectral radius ρα(G) of the matrix Aα(G). In particular, we give a lower bound on the spectral radius ρα(G) in terms of order and independence number. In addition, we obtain an upper bound for the spectral radius ρα(G) in terms of order and minimal degree. Furthermore, for n>l>0 and 1≤p≤⌊n−l2⌋, let Gp≅Kl∨(Kp∪Kn−p−l) be the graph obtained from the graphs Kl and Kp∪Kn−p−l and edges connecting each vertex of Kl with every vertex of Kp∪Kn−p−l. We prove that ρα(Gp+1)<ρα(Gp) for 1≤p≤⌊n−l2⌋−1.

Let G be a graph on n vertices. The Laplacian matrix of G, denoted by L(G), is defined as L(G) = D(G) −A(G), where A(G) is the adjacency matrix of G and D(G) is the diagonal matrix of the vertex degrees of G. A graph G is said to be L-integral if all eigenvalues of the matrix L(G) are integers. In this paper, we characterize all Lintegral non-bipartite graphs among all connected graphs with at most two vertices of degree larger than or equal to three.

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.

Let A ( G ) be the adjacent matrix and D ( G ) the diagonal matrix of the degrees of a graph G, respectively. For 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 , the A α -matrix is the general adjacency and signless Laplacian spectral matrix having the form of A α ( G ) = α D ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) A ( G ) . Clearly, A 0 ( G ) is the adjacent matrix and 2 A 1 2 is the signless Laplacian matrix. A cactus is a connected graph such that any two of its cycles have at most one common vertex, that is an extension of the tree. The A α -spectral radius of a cactus graph with n vertices and k cycles is explored. The outcomes obtained in this paper can imply some previous bounds from trees to cacti. In addition, the corresponding extremal graphs are determined. Furthermore, we proposed all eigenvalues of such extremal cacti. Our results extended and enriched previous known results.

The distance signless Laplacian matrix [Formula: see text] of a connected graph [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the distance matrix of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is the diagonal matrix whose main entries are the vertex transmissions of [Formula: see text], and the spectral radius of a connected graph [Formula: see text] is the largest eigenvalue of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, first we obtain the [Formula: see text]-eigenvalues of the join of certain regular graphs. Next, we give some new bounds on the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius of a graph [Formula: see text] in terms of graph parameters and characterize the extremal graphs. Utilizing these results we present some upper and lower bounds on the distance signless Laplacian energy of a graph [Formula: see text].
