Algebraic connectivity of connected graphs with fixed number of pendant vertices

Combinatorics 2010-03-25 v1

Abstract

In this paper we consider the following problem: Over the class of all simple connected graphs of order nn with kk pendant vertices (n,kn,k being fixed), which graph maximizes (respectively, minimizes) the algebraic connectivity? We also discuss the algebraic connectivity of unicyclic graphs.
