Let B(n, g) be the set of bicyclic graphs on n vertices with girth g. In this paper, we determine the unique graph with the maximal spectral radius among all graphs in B(n, g). Moreover, the maximal spectral radius is a decreasing function on g.

β¦ Synopsis
Let B(n, g) be the class of bicyclic graphs on n vertices with girth g. Let B 1 (n, g) be the subclass of B(n, g) consisting of all bicyclic graphs with two edge-disjoint cycles and B 2 (n, g) = B(n, g) \ B 1 (n, g). This paper determines the unique graph with the maximal Laplacian spectral radius among all graphs in B 1 (n, g) and B 2 (n, g), respectively. Furthermore, the upper bound of the Laplacian spectral radius and the extremal graph for B(n, g) are also obtained.

A connected graph of order n is bicyclic if it has n + 1 edges. He et al. [C.X. He, J.Y. Shao, J.L. He, On the Laplacian spectral radii of bicyclic graphs, Discrete Math. 308 (2008) 5981-5995] determined, among the n-vertex bicyclic graphs, the first four largest Laplacian spectral radii together wi
The independence number Ξ±(G) of G is defined as the maximum cardinality of a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices which is called an independent set. In this paper, we characterize the graphs which have the minimum spectral radius among all the connected graphs of order n with independence number Ξ±
