## Abstract Let ฮป~__k__~(__G__) be the __k__th Laplacian eigenvalue of a graph __G__. It is shown that a tree __T__ with __n__ vertices has $\lambda\_{k}(T)\le \lceil { {n}\over{k}}\rceil$ and that equality holds if and only if __k__ < __n__, __k__|__n__ and __T__ is spanned by __k__ vertex disjoin
Let ฮป 1 (T ) and ฮป 2 (T ) be the largest and the second largest eigenvalues of a tree T , respectively. We obtain the following sharp lower bound for ฮป 1 (T ): where d i is the degree of the vertex v i and m i is the average degree of the adjacent vertices of v i . Equality holds if and only if T i
