For a graph $G$, let $\lambda_2(G)$ denote its second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue. It was conjectured that $\lambda_2(G) + \lambda_2(\overline G) \ge 1$, where $\overline G$ is the complement of $G$. In this paper, it is shown that…

Let F(G) be a fixed linear combination of the k extremal eigenvalues of a graph G and of its complement. The problem of finding max{F(G):v(G)=n} generalizes a number of problems raised previously in the literature. We show that the limit…
