Abstract

Bollob\'{a}s and Nikiforov (J. Combin. Theory Ser. B. 97 (2007) 859-865) conjectured that for a graph GG with e(G)e(G) edges and the clique number ω(G)\omega(G), then λ12+λ222e(G)(11ω(G)), \lambda_{1}^{2}+\lambda_{2}^{2}\leq 2e(G)\left(1-\frac{1}{\omega(G)}\right), where λ1\lambda_{1} and λ2\lambda_{2} are the largest and the second largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of GG, respectively. In this paper, we prove that for a sequence of random graphs the conjecture holds true with probability tending to one as the number of vertices tends to infinity.
