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.

โฆ Synopsis
Let G be a simple graph with n P 3 vertices and orientable genus g and non-orientable genus h. We deยฎne the Euler characteristic vq of a graph G by vq maxf2 ร 2gY 2 ร hg. Let kq be the least eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix A of G. In this paper, we obtain the following lower bounds of kq kq P ร 2n ร vq p X
In particular, if G is the planar graph, then kq P ร 2n ร 4 p the equality holds if and only if q u 2Ynร2 . Further, we have same result of seriesยฑ parallel graph.

We consider weighted graphs, where the edge weights are positive definite matrices. The Laplacian of the graph is defined in the usual way. We obtain an upper bound on the largest eigenvalue of the Laplacian and characterize graphs for which the bound is attained. The classical bound of Anderson and
