Abstract

A graph is called a chain graph if it is bipartite and the neighbourhoods of the vertices in each colour class form a chain with respect to inclusion. In this paper, we study the relation between the degree sequences and the Laplacian spectra of chain graphs. We provide explicit formulae for the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of a chain graph, and certain properties of the Laplacian spectrum that can be deduced from its degree sequence.
