چکیده
We continue our investigation of graphsG for which the least eigenvalue λ(G) is minimal among the connected graphs of prescribed order and size. We provide structural details of the bipartite graphs that arise, and study the behaviour of λ(G) as the size increases while the order remains constant. The non-bipartite graphs that arise were investigated in a previous paper [F.K. Bell, D. Cvetković, P. Rowlinson, S.K. Simić, Graphs for which the least eigenvalue is minimal, I, Linear Algebra Appl. (2008), doi:10.1016/j.laa.2008.02.032]; here we distinguish the cases of bipartite and non-bipartite graphs in terms of size. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. AMS classification: 05C50

The least eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian of non-bipartite unicyclic graphs with k pendant vertices
Let U(n, k) be the set of non-bipartite unicyclic graphs with n vertices and k pendant vertices, where n ≥ 4. In this paper, the unique graph with the minimal least eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian among all graphs in U(n, k) is determined. Furthermore, it is proved that the minimal least eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian is an increasing function in k. Let Un denote the set of non-bipar...

متن کاملOn Complementary Distance Signless Laplacian Spectral Radius and Energy of Graphs
Let $D$ be a diameter and $d_G(v_i, v_j)$ be the distance between the vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ of a connected graph $G$. The complementary distance signless Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is $CDL^+(G)=[c_{ij}]$ in which $c_{ij}=1+D-d_G(v_i, v_j)$ if $ineq j$ and $c_{ii}=sum_{j=1}^{n}(1+D-d_G(v_i, v_j))$. The complementary transmission $CT_G(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is defined as $CT_G(v)=sum_{u in ...
متن کاملGraphs for which the least eigenvalue is minimal , I
Let G be a connected graph whose least eigenvalue λ(G) is minimal among the connected graphs of prescribed order and size. We show first that either G is complete or λ(G) is a simple eigenvalue. In the latter case, the sign pattern of a corresponding eigenvector determines a partition of the vertex set, and we study the structure of G in terms of this partition. We find that G is either biparti...
متن کاملThe Chromatic Number and the Least Eigenvalue of a Graph
In this paper we get a structural property for a graph having the minimal least eigenvalue among all graphs of fixed order and given chromatic number, and characterize such graphs under the condition that the chromatic number is not larger than half the order of the graph. As a result, we obtain a lower bound on the least eigenvalue in terms of the chromatic number, and an upper bound on the ch...
