Tree simplification and the 'plateaux' phenomenon of graph Laplacian eigenvalues
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed a procedure of reducing the number of vertices and edges of a given tree, which we call the " tree simplification procedure, " without changing its topological information. Our motivation for developing this procedure was to reduce computational costs of graph Laplacian eigenvalues of such trees. When we applied this procedure to a set of trees representing dendritic structures of retinal ganglion cells of a mouse and computed their graph Laplacian eigenvalues, we observed two " plateaux " (i.e., two sets of multiple eigenvalues) in the eigenvalue distribution of each such simplified tree. In this article, after describing our tree simplification procedure, we analyze why such eigenvalue plateaux occur in a simplified tree, and explain such plateaux can occur in a more general graph if it satisfies a certain condition, identify these two eigen-values specifically as well as the lower bound to their multiplicity.

Laplacian Energy of a Fuzzy Graph
A concept related to the spectrum of a graph is that of energy. The energy E(G) of a graph G is equal to the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of G . The Laplacian energy of a graph G is equal to the sum of distances of the Laplacian eigenvalues of G and the average degree d(G) of G. In this paper we introduce the concept of Laplacian energy of fuzzy graphs. ...

We introduce the Laplacian sum-eccentricity matrix LS_e} of a graph G, and its Laplacian sum-eccentricity energy LS_eE=sum_{i=1}^n |eta_i|, where eta_i=zeta_i-frac{2m}{n} and where zeta_1,zeta_2,ldots,zeta_n are the eigenvalues of LS_e}. Upper bounds for LS_eE are obtained. A graph is said to be twinenergetic if sum_{i=1}^n |eta_i|=sum_{i=1}^n |zeta_i|. Conditions ...

Let $G$ be a graph without an isolated vertex, the normalized Laplacian matrix $tilde{mathcal{L}}(G)$ is defined as $tilde{mathcal{L}}(G)=mathcal{D}^{-frac{1}{2}}mathcal{L}(G)mathcal{D}^{-frac{1}{2}}$, where $mathcal{D}$ is a diagonal matrix whose entries are degree of vertices of $G$. The eigenvalues of $tilde{mathcal{L}}(G)$ are called as the normalized Laplacian eigenva...
