The signless Laplacian spread. (English) Zbl 1206.05064

Linear Algebra Appl. 432, No. 2-3, 505-514 (2010).
The signless Laplacian spread of \(G\) is defined as \(SQ(G) = \mu_1 (G) - \mu_n (G)\), where \(\mu_1 (G)\) and \(\mu_n (G)\) are the maximum and minimum eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix of \(G\), respectively. This paper presents some upper and lower bounds for \(SQ(G)\). Moreover, the unique unicyclic graph with maximum signless Laplacian spread among the class of connected unicyclic graphs of order \(n\) is determined.
