Abstract:

For a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V, E)$, let $B(H)$ be its incidence matrix and $\mathcal{Q}(H)=B(H)B(H)^{\top}$ be its signless Laplacian matrix. The signless Laplacian spectral radius of $H$ is the maximum modulus of all eigenvalues of $\mathcal{Q}(H)$. Let $\mathcal{H}^n_{k, r}$ be the class of connected $k$-uniform hypergraphs with $n$ vertices and $r$ pendent vertices. In this paper, the extremal hypergraphs having maximum spectral radii in $\mathcal{H}^n_{k, r}$ are characterized for $n-r\geq k$ and some cases $n-r\in [k-1]$, respectively.

Key words: k-uniform hypergraph, signless Laplacian spectral radius, principal eigenvector
