Spectral Radius and maximum degree of connected graphs

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We give an upper bound on the maximal eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a connected graph in terms of its maximum degree, diameter and order. This bound is best possible up to a constant factor and improves prevoius results of Stevanovic, Zhang, and Alon and Sudakov.
