On the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius and the distance signless Laplacian energy of graphs

Abstract

The distance signless Laplacian spectral radius of a connected graph [Formula: see text] is the largest eigenvalue of the distance signless Laplacian matrix of [Formula: see text], defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the distance matrix of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is the diagonal matrix of vertex transmissions of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine some bounds on the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius of [Formula: see text] based on some graph invariants, and characterize the extremal graphs. In addition, we define distance signless Laplacian energy, similar to that in [J. Yang, L. You and I. Gutman, Bounds on the distance Laplacian energy of graphs, Kragujevac J. Math. 37 (2013) 245–255] and give some bounds on the distance signless Laplacian energy of graphs.
