โฆ Synopsis
Let ฮป 1 be the largest eigenvalue and ฮป n the least eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a connected graph G of order n. We prove that if G is irregular with diameter D, maximum degree ฮ, minimum degree ฮด and average degree d, then
.
The inequality improves previous bounds of various authors and implies two lower bounds on ฮป n which improve previous bounds of Nikiforov. It also gives some fine tuning of a result of Alon and Sudakov. A similar inequality is also obtained for the Laplacian spectral radius of a connected irregular graph.

This paper provides new upper bounds on the spectral radius \ (largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix) of graphs embeddable on a given compact surface. Our method is to bound the maximum rowsum in a polynomial of the adjacency matrix, using simple consequences of Euler's formula. Let # denote th
Let G be a graph of order n and ฮผ(G) be the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. Let G be the complement of G. Write K n-1 + v for the complete graph on n -1 vertices together with an isolated vertex, and K n-1 + e for the complete graph on n -1 vertices with a pendent edge. We show that:
