Distance spectral radius of trees with given matching number

The Laplacian spectral radius of graphs with given matching number

In this paper, we show that of all graphs of order n with matching number β, the graphs with maximal spectral radius are Kn if n = 2β or 2β + 1; K2β+1 ∪Kn−2β−1 if 2β + 2 n < 3β + 2; Kβ ∨ Kn−β or K2β+1 ∪Kn−2β−1 if n = 3β + 2; Kβ ∨ Kn−β if n > 3β + 2, where Kt is the empty graph on t vertices. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.

The distance spectral radius of graphs with given number of odd vertices

Trees with given maximum degree minimizing the spectral radius

The spectral radius of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of the graph. Let T (n,∆, l) be the tree which minimizes the spectral radius of all trees of order n with exactly l vertices of maximum degree ∆. In this paper, T (n,∆, l) is determined for ∆ = 3, and for l ≤ 3 and n large enough. It is proven that for sufficiently large n, T (n, 3, l) is a caterpillar with (almost...
