On the Laplacian characteristic polynomials of mixed graphs

چکیده
Let G be a mixed graph and L(G) be the Laplacian matrix of G. In this paper, the coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of G are studied. The first derivative of the characteristic polynomial of L(G) is explicitly expressed by means of Laplacian characteristic polynomials of its edge deleted subgraphs. As a consequence, it is shown that the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of a mixed graph is reconstructible from the collection of the Laplacian characteristic polynomials of its edge deleted subgraphs. Then, it is investigated how graph modifications affect the mixed Laplacian characteristic polynomial. Also, a connection between the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of a non-singular connected mixed graph and the signless Laplacian characteristic polynomial is provided, and it is used to establish a lower bound for the spectral radius of L(G). Finally, using Coates digraphs, the perturbation of the mixed Laplacian spectral radius under some graph transformations is discussed.

متن کاملCounting the number of spanning trees of graphs
A spanning tree of graph G is a spanning subgraph of G that is a tree. In this paper, we focus our attention on (n,m) graphs, where m = n, n + 1, n + 2, n+3 and n + 4. We also determine some coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of fullerene graphs.
متن کاملCospectral graphs for the normalized Laplacian by “toggling”
A characteristic of the normalized Laplacian matrix is the possibility for cospectral graphs which do not have the same number of edges. We give a construction of an infinite family of weighted graphs that are pairwise cospectral and which can be transformed into simple graphs. In particular, some of these graphs are cospectral with subgraphs of themselves. In the proof we deconstruct these gra...
متن کاملTwo Classes of Integral Regular Graphs
A graph G is called integral or Laplacian integral if all the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix A(G) or the Laplacian matrix Lap(G) = D(G)−A(G) of G are integers, where D(G) denote the diagonal matrix of the vertex degrees of G. Let Kn,n+1 ≡ Kn+1,n and K1,p[(p−1)Kp] denote the (n+1)-regular graph with 4n+2 vertices and the p-regular graph with p2 + 1 vertices, respectively. In this paper, we ...
متن کاملA cospectral family of graphs for the normalized Laplacian found by toggling
We give a construction of a family of (weighted) graphs that are pairwise cospectral with respect to the normalized Laplacian matrix, or equivalently probability transition matrix. This construction can be used to form pairs of cospectral graphs with differing number of edges, including situations where one graph is a subgraph of the other. The method used to demonstrate cospectrality is by sho...
