Spectral Sufficient Conditions on Pancyclic Graphs

A pancyclic graph of order n is a graph with cycles of all possible lengths from 3 to n . In fact, it is NP-complete that deciding whether a graph is pancyclic. Because the spectrum of graphs is convenient to be calculated, in this study, we try to use the spectral theory of graphs to study this problem and give some sufficient conditions for a graph to be pancyclic in terms of the spectral radius and the signless Laplacian spectral radius of the graph.

On the Harmonic Index and the Signless Laplacian Spectral Radius of Graphs

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.
