Maxima of the Q-index: Forbidden even cycles

Abstract: Let G be a graph of order n and let q (G) be the largest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian of G. Let S n,k be the graph obtained by joining each vertex of a complete graph of order k to each vertex of an independent set of order n − k; and let S + n,k be the graph obtained by adding an edge to S n,k .It is shown that if k ≥ 2, n ≥ 400k 2 , and G is a graph of order n, with no cycle of length 2k + 2, then q (G) < q S + n,k , unless G = S + n,k . This result completes the proof of a conjecture of de Freitas, … Show more

“…Many instances of Problem B have been solved, see, e.g., the second part of the survey paper [25]. There is also considerable progress with Problem C: see, e.g., the papers [1], [2], [14], [15], [17], [26], [27], [28], and [30]. Now, having the family A α (G), we can merge Problems B and C into one, namely:…”
