The eigenspectrum of a graph Laplacian encodes smoothness information over the graph. A natural approach to learning involves transforming the spectrum of a graph Laplacian to obtain a kernel. While manual exploration of the spectrum is conceivable, non-parametric learning methods that adjust the Laplacian’s spectrum promise better performance. For instance, adjusting the graph Laplacian using ...

A graph is said to be determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum if there is no other non-isomorphic graph with the same spectrum. In this paper, it is shown that each starlike tree with maximum degree 4 is determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum.

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 $q_1$,$q_2$, $cdots$, $q_n$ ...

The k-th semi total point graph of a graph G, , ‎is a graph‎ obtained from G by adding k vertices corresponding to each edge and‎ connecting them to the endpoints of edge considered‎. ‎In this paper‎, a formula for Laplacian polynomial of in terms of‎ characteristic and Laplacian polynomials of G is computed‎, ‎where is a connected regular graph‎.The Kirchhoff index of is also computed‎.

In spectral graph theory, the Grone-Merris Conjecture asserts that the spectrum of the Laplacian matrix of a finite graph is majorized by the conjugate degree sequence of this graph. We give a complete proof for this conjecture. The Laplacian of a simple graph G with n vertices is a positive semi-definite n×n matrix L(G) that mimics the geometric Laplacian of a Riemannian manifold; see §1 for d...

‎For a simple graph $G$‎, ‎the signless Laplacian Estrada index is defined as $SLEE(G)=sum^{n}_{i=1}e^{q^{}_i}$‎, ‎where $q^{}_1‎, ‎q^{}_2‎, ‎dots‎, ‎q^{}_n$ are the eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix of $G$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we first characterize the unicyclic graphs with the first two largest and smallest $SLEE$'s and then determine the unique unicyclic graph with maximum $SLEE$ a...
