Abstract:

The least eigenvalue of the graph is defined as the smallest eigenvalue of adjacency matrix of the graph, which is an important algebraic parameter on characterizing structural property of graphs. In this paper, we characterize the unique graph with the minimum least eigenvalue among all graphs of fixed order whose complements are connected and have pendent vertices, and present the lower bound of the least eigenvalue of such classes of graphs.

Key words: graph, complement, adjacency matrix, the least eigenvalue
