In this paper, we show that among all the connected graphs with n vertices and k cut vertices, the maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius is attained uniquely at the graph G n,k , where G n,k is obtained from the complete graph K n-k by attaching paths of almost equal lengths to all vertices of

โฆ Synopsis
In [J. Molitierno, The spectral radius of submatrices of Laplacian matrices for trees and its comparison to the Fiedler vector, Linear Algebra Appl. 406 (2005) 253-271], we observed the effects on the spectral radius of submatrices of the Laplacian matrix L for a tree by deleting a row and column of L corresponding to a vertex of the tree. This enabled us to classify trees as either of Type A or Type B. In this paper, we extend these results to graphs which are not trees and offer a similar classification. Additionally, we show counterexamples to theorems that are true for trees, but not so for general graphs.

We consider the effects on the spectral radius of submatrices of the Laplacian matrix for graphs by deleting the row and column corresponding to various vertices of the graph. We focus most of our attention on trees and determine which vertices v will yield the maximum and minimum spectral radius of
