A sharp upper bound on the signless Laplacian spectral radius of graphs

Abstract

Let G be a simple connected graph of order n with degree sequence d1,d2,…,dn in non-increasing order. The signless Laplacian spectral radius ρ(Q(G)) of G is the largest eigenvalue of its signless Laplacian matrix Q(G). In this paper, we give a sharp upper bound on the signless Laplacian spectral radius ρ(Q(G)) in terms of di, which improves and generalizes some known results.
