We show that the number of Laplacian eigenvalues greater than the average degree of a tree having $n$ vertices is at most $\lfloor\frac{n}{2} \rfloor$.
In this paper, we interpret the multiplicity of 1 in Laplacian spectra of trees and prove that Faria's inequality turns to an equality in the case of normal trees which yields that in any tree without a vertex of degree 2, Faria equality…
We investigate the structure of trees that have greatest maximum eigenvalue among all trees with a given degree sequence. We show that in such an extremal tree the degree sequence is non-increasing with respect to an ordering of the…
Let $T$ be a tree. Suppose $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of $T$ with multiplicity $m_{T}(\lambda)$. It is known that $m_{T}(\lambda) \leq p(T)-1$, where $p(T)$ is the number of pendant vertices of $T$. In this paper, we…

There are several common ways to encode a tree as a matrix, such as the adjacency matrix, the Laplacian matrix (that is, the infinitesimal generator of the natural random walk), and the matrix of pairwise distances between leaves. Such…
The purpose of the paper is to present quantitative estimates for the principal eigenvalue of discrete p-Laplacian on the set of rooted trees. Alternatively, it is studying the optimal constant of a class of weighted Hardy inequality. Three…
The Laplacian matrix of a simple graph is the difference of the diagonal matrix of vertex degree and the (0,1) adjacency matrix. In the past decades, the Laplacian spectrum has received much more and more attention, since it has been…
Motivated by classic tree algorithms, in 1995 we designed a bottom-up $O(n)$ algorithm to compute the determinant of a tree's adjacency matrix $A$. In 2010 an $O(n)$ algorithm was found for constructing a diagonal matrix congruent to $A +…
We provide explicit upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a finite metric tree subject to standard vertex conditions. The results include estimates depending on the average length of the edges or the diameter. In particular,…
We study the irreducible representations of simple algebraic groups in which some non-central semisimple element has at most one eigenvalue of multiplicity greater than 1. We bound the multiplicity of this eigenvalue in terms of the rank of…
The isoperimetric problem of maximizing all eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a metric tree graph within the class of trees of a given average edge length is studied. It turns out that, up to rescaling, the unique maximizer of the $k$-th…
We prove a Matrix-Tree Theorem enumerating the spanning trees of a cell complex in terms of the eigenvalues of its cellular Laplacian operators, generalizing a previous result for simplicial complexes. As an application, we obtain explicit…
For any positive integer $r$ and real number $\alpha>1$, let ${\mathscr L}_r(\alpha)$ denote the set of positive real numbers defined recursively: $\alpha-1\in {\mathscr L}_r(\alpha)$, and for any multi-subset $\{q_1,q_2,\dots,q_s\}$ of…

We developed a procedure of reducing the number of vertices and edges of a given tree, which we call the "tree simplification procedure," without changing its topological information. Our motivation for developing this procedure was to…
If $G$ is a graph and $\mathbf{m}$ is an ordered multiplicity list which is realizable by at least one symmetric matrix with graph $G$, what can we say about the eigenvalues of all such realizing matrices for $\mathbf{m}$? It has sometimes…
