In this paper, we study the multiplicity of the Laplacian eigenvalues of trees. It is known that for trees, integer Laplacian eigenvalues larger than $1$ are simple and also the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalue $1$ has been well studied…

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 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…

We show that any second eigenfunction of the Laplacian with standard vertex conditions on a metric tree graph attains its extremal values only at degree one vertices, and give an example where these vertices do not realise the diameter of…

We show that for every $n$-vertex graph with at least one edge, its treewidth is greater than or equal to $n \lambda_{2} / (\Delta + \lambda_{2}) - 1$, where $\Delta$ and $\lambda_{2}$ are the maximum degree and the second smallest…

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 +…

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…

For the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph of size $N$ with mean degree $(1+o(1))\frac{\log N}{t+1}\leq d\leq(1-o(1))\frac{\log N}{t}$ where $t\in\mathbb{N}^{*}$, with high probability the smallest non zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian is equal to…

We investigate the problem of ordering trees according to their Laplacian energy. More precisely, given a positive integer $n$, we find a class of cardinality approximately $\sqrt{n}$ whose elements are the $n$-vertex trees with largest…

We describe our current understanding on the phase transition phenomenon of the graph Laplacian eigenvectors constructed on a certain type of unweighted trees, which we previously observed through our numerical experiments. The eigenvalue…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $\mathcal{L}(G,\lambda)=\sum_{k=0}^n (-1)^{k}c_{k}(G)\lambda^{n-k}$ be the characteristic polynomial of its Laplacian matrix. Motivated by Ili\'{c} and Ili\'{c}'s conjecture [A. Ili\'{c}, M. Ili\'{c},…

Let $T$ be a tree with a given adjacency eigenvalue $\lambda$. In this paper, by using the $\lambda$-minimal trees, we determine the structure of trees with a given multiplicity of the eigenvalue $\lambda$. Furthermore, we consider the…

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 show that, in the graph spectrum of the normalized graph Laplacian on trees, the eigenvalue 1 and eigenvalues near 1 are strongly related to minimum vertex covers. In particular, for the eigenvalue 1, its multiplicity is related to 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…

We offer a new method for proving that the maximal eigenvalue of the normalized graph Laplacian of a graph with $n$ vertices is at least $\frac{n+1}{n-1}$ provided the graph is not complete and that equality is attained if and only if the…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges having Laplacian eigenvalues $\mu_1, \mu_2, \dots, \mu_{n-1},\mu_n=0$. The Laplacian energy $LE(G)$ is defined as $LE(G)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}|\mu_i-\overline{d}|$, where…

Let $G$ be a connected graph on $n$ vertices with diameter $d$. It is known that if $2\le d\le n-2$, there are at most $n-d$ Laplacian eigenvalues in the interval $[n-d+2, n]$. In this paper, we show that if $1\le d\le n-3$, there are at…

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…

Let G be a graph. The Laplacian ratio of G is the permanent of the Laplacian matrix of G divided by the product of degrees of all vertices. The computational complexity of Laplacian ratio is #P-complete. Brualdi and Goldwasser studied…
