Recall that, given a graph G, the matrix Q = D + A is called the signless Laplacian, where A is the adjacency matrix and D is the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees. The matrix L = D − A is known as the Laplacian of G. Graphs with the same spectrum of an associated matrix M are called cospectral graphs with respect to M , or M–cospectral graphs. A graph H cospectral with a graph G, but not isomo...

We propose a simple and natural definition for the Laplacian and the signless Laplacian tensors of a uniform hypergraph. We study their H-eigenvalues, i.e., H-eigenvalues with nonnegative H-eigenvectors, and H-eigenvalues, i.e., H-eigenvalues with positive H-eigenvectors. We show that each of the Laplacian tensor, the signless Laplacian tensor, and the adjacency tensor has at most one H-eigenva...

The investigation of the spectral distances of graphs that started in [3] (I. Jovanović, Z. Stanić, Spectral distances of graphs, Linear Algebra Appl., 436 (2012) 1425–1435.) is continued by defining Laplacian and signless Laplacian spectral distances and considering their relations to the spectral distances based on the adjacency matrix of graph. Some separate results concerning the defined di...

Nested split and double nested graphs (commonly named nested graphs) are considered. General statements regarding the signless Laplacian spectra are proven, and the nested graphs whose second largest signless Laplacian eigenvalue is bounded by a fixed integral constant are studied. Some sufficient conditions are provided and a procedure for classifying such graphs in particular cases is provide...

The main aim of this study is to characterize new classes of multicone graphs which are determined by their signless Laplacian spectra. A multicone graph is defined to be the join of a clique and a regular graph. Let C and K w denote the Clebsch graph and a complete graph on w vertices, respectively. In this paper, we show that the multicone graphs K w ▽C are determined by their signless ...

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...

In this note we address the problem of graph isomorphism by means of eigenvalue spectra of different matrix representations: the neighborhood matrix M̂ , its corresponding signless Laplacian QM̂ , and the set of higher order adjacency matrices M`s. We find that, in relation to graphs with at most 10 vertices, QM̂ leads to better results than the signless Laplacian Q; besides, when combined with M̂ ...

Suppose π = (d1, d2, . . . , dn) and π = (d1, d ′ 2 , . . . , dn) are two positive nonincreasing degree sequences, write π ⊳ π if and only if π 6= π, ∑n i=1 di = ∑n i=1 d ′ i, and ∑j i=1 di ≤ ∑j i=1 di for all j = 1, 2, . . . , n. Let ρ(G) and μ(G) be the spectral radius and signless Laplacian spectral radius of G, respectively. Also let G and G be the extremal graphs with the maximal (signless...
