Abstract

Let G be a simple graph of order n with vertex set V={v1,v2,⋯,vn}. Also let μ1(G)μ2(G)μn-1(G)μn(G)=0 and q1(G)q2(G)qn(G)0 be the Laplacian eigenvalues and signless Laplacian eigenvalues of G, respectively. In this paper we obtain μi(G)bmax{|NH(vk)NH(vj)|:vkvjE(H)}, where NH(vk) is the set of neighbors of vertex vk in V(H)=V(G)\Ui, Ui is any (i-1)-subset of V(G) (here, we agree that i{1,⋯,n-1} and μi(G)i-1 if E(H)=). For any graph G, this bound does not exceed the order of G. Moreover, we prove thatmax{(G)};maxin{dG(vk)+vjNG(vk)NdG(vj)dG(vk)}, where is the i-th largest degree of G and N.
