β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, all connected bipartite graphs are characterized whose third largest Laplacian eigenvalue is less than three. Moreover, the result is used to characterize all connected bipartite graphs with exactly two Laplacian eigenvalues not less than three, and all connected line graphs of bipartite graphs with the third eigenvalue of their adjacency matrices less than one.

We show that, if a bipartite distance-regular graph of valency k has an eigenvalue of multiplicity k, then it becomes 2-homogeneous. Combined with a result on bipartite 2-homogeneous distance-regular graphs by K. Nomura, we have a classification of such graphs.
We prove that the minimum value of the least eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian of a connected nonbipartite graph with a prescribed number of vertices is attained solely in the unicyclic graph obtained from a triangle by attaching a path at one of its endvertices.
