چکیده

We introduce a differential topological invariant for compact differentiable manifolds by counting the small eigenvalues of the Conformal Laplace operator. This invariant vanishes if and only if the manifold has a metric of positive scalar curvature. We show that the invariant does not increase under surgery of codimension at least three and we give lower and upper bounds in terms of the α-genus.

Seidel Signless Laplacian Energy of Graphs

Let $S(G)$ be the Seidel matrix of a graph $G$ of order $n$ and let $D_S(G)=diag(n-1-2d_1, n-1-2d_2,ldots, n-1-2d_n)$ be the diagonal matrix with $d_i$ denoting the degree of a vertex $v_i$ in $G$. The Seidel Laplacian matrix of $G$ is defined as $SL(G)=D_S(G)-S(G)$ and the Seidel signless Laplacian matrix as $SL^+(G)=D_S(G)+S(G)$. The Seidel signless Laplacian energy $E_{SL^+...

SIGNLESS LAPLACIAN SPECTRAL MOMENTS OF GRAPHS AND ORDERING SOME GRAPHS WITH RESPECT TO THEM

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph. Denote by $D(G)$ the diagonal matrix $diag(d_1,cdots,d_n)$, where $d_i$ is the degree of vertex $i$  and  $A(G)$ the adjacency matrix of $G$. The  signless Laplacianmatrix of $G$ is $Q(G) = D(G) + A(G)$ and the $k-$th signless Laplacian spectral moment of  graph $G$ is defined as $T_k(G)=sum_{i=1}^{n}q_i^{k}$, $kgeqslant 0$, where $q_1$,$q_2$, $cdots$, $q_n$ ...

Some remarks on the sum of the inverse values of the normalized signless Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs

Let G=(V,E), $V={v_1,v_2,ldots,v_n}$, be a simple connected graph with $%n$ vertices, $m$ edges and a sequence of vertex degrees $d_1geqd_2geqcdotsgeq d_n>0$, $d_i=d(v_i)$. Let ${A}=(a_{ij})_{ntimes n}$ and ${%D}=mathrm{diag }(d_1,d_2,ldots , d_n)$ be the adjacency and the diagonaldegree matrix of $G$, respectively. Denote by ${mathcal{L}^+}(G)={D}^{-1/2}(D+A) {D}^{-1/2}$ the normalized signles...
