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.
We first give a result on eigenvalues of the line graph of a graph. We then use the result to present a new upper bound for eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of a graph. Moreover we determine all graphs the largest eigenvalue of whose Laplacian matrix reaches the upper bound.
Let G be a graph whose Laplacian eigenvalues are 0 = Ξ» 1 Ξ» 2 β’ β’ β’ Ξ» n . We investigate the gap (expressed either as a difference or as a ratio) between the extremal non-trivial Laplacian eigenvalues of a connected graph (that is Ξ» n and Ξ» 2 ). This gap is closely related to the average density of c
