设G是一个n阶单圈图,λ1(G)、λ2(G)分别为图G的邻接矩阵的最大特征值与次大特征值,μ1(G)、μ2(G)分别为图G的拉普拉斯矩阵的最大特征值与次大特征值。图G的分离度定义为SA(G)=λ1(G)-λ2(G),拉普拉斯分离度定义为SL(G)=μ1(G)-μ2(G)。研究单圈图的(拉普拉斯)分离度,并分别给出了取得次大分离度和次大拉普拉斯分离度的极图。
Let G be a unicyclic graph of order n, λ1(G) and λ2(G) be the largest eigenvalue and second largest eigenvalue of the adjacent matrix of G, μ1(G) and μ2(G) be the largest eigenvalue and second largest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of G, respectively. The separator of G is defined as SA(G)=λ1(G) -λ2(G). The Laplacian separator of G is defined as SL(G)=μ1(G) -μ2(G). In this paper, we study the (Laplacian) separator of unicyclic graphs, and give the extremal graphs which attain the second maximum separator and second maximum Laplacian separator respectively.
