Abstract

A connected graph of order n is bicyclic if it has n + 1 edges. He et al. [C.X. He, J.Y. Shao, J.L. He, On the Laplacian spectral radii of bicyclic graphs, Discrete Math. 308 (2008) 5981–5995] determined, among the n -vertex bicyclic graphs, the first four largest Laplacian spectral radii together with the corresponding graphs (six in total). It turns that all these graphs have the spectral radius greater than n − 1 . In this paper, we first identify the remaining n -vertex bicyclic graphs (five in total) whose Laplacian spectral radius is greater than or equal to n − 1 . The complete ordering of all eleven graphs in question was obtained by determining the next four largest Laplacian spectral radii together with the corresponding graphs.
