Bicyclic Graphs

The algebraic connectivity of a graph $G$ is the second smallest eigenvalue of its Laplacian matrix. Let $\mathscr{B}_n$ be the set of all bicyclic graphs of order $n$. In this paper, we determine the last four bicyclic graphs (according to their smallest algebraic connectivities) among all graphs in $\mathscr{B}_n$ when $n\geq 13$. This result, together with our previous results on trees and unicyclic graphs, can be used to further determine the last sixteen graphs among all connected graphs of order $n$. This extends the results of Shao et al. [The ordering of trees and connected graphs by their algebraic connectivity, Linear Algebra Appl. 428 (2008) 1421-1438].

Abstract The second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of a graph (network) is called its algebraic connectivity which is used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, distinguish the group differences, measure the robustness, construct multiplex model, synchronize the stability, analyze the diffusion processes and find the connectivity of the graphs (networks). A connected graph containing two or three cycles is called a bicyclic graph if its number of edges is equal to its number of vertices plus one. In this paper, firstly the unique graph with a minimum algebraic connectivity is characterized in the class of connected graphs whose complements are bicyclic with exactly three cycles. Then, we find the unique graph of minimum algebraic connectivity in the class of connected graphs $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{n}={\it\Omega}^c_{1,n}\cup{\it\Omega}^c_{2,n}, \end{array}$ where $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{1,n} \end{array}$ and $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{2,n} \end{array}$ are classes of the connected graphs in which the complement of each graph of order n is a bicyclic graph with exactly two and three cycles, respectively.

The algebraic connectivity of a graph is defined as the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of the graph, which is a parameter to measure how well a graph is connected. In this paper, we present two unique graphs whose algebraic connectivity attain the minimum among all graphs whose complements are trees, but not stars, and among all graphs whose complements are unicyclic graphs, but not stars adding one edge, respectively.

In [1], Abdo and Dimitov defined the total irregularity of a graph G=(V,E) as irrt(G)=1/2 ?u,v?V|dG(u)-dG(v)|, where dG(u) denotes the vertex degree of a vertex u ? V. In this paper, we investigate the minimal total irregularity of the connected graphs, determine the minimal, the second minimal, the third minimal total irregularity of trees, unicyclic graphs, bicyclic graphs on n vertices, and propose an open problem for further research.

Simple Connected Graph

Let G = (V,E) be a simple connected graph. Denote by D(G) the diagonal matrix of its vertex degrees and by A(G) its adjacency matrix. Then the Laplacian matrix of graph G is L(G) = D(G)-A(G). Let a(G) and ?(G), respectively, be the second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue and the independence number of graph G. In this paper, we characterize the extremal graph with second minimum value for addition of algebraic connectivity and independence number among all connected graphs with n ? 6 vertices (Actually, we can determine the p-th minimum value of a(G)+ ?(G) under certain condition when p is small). Moreover, we present a lower bound to the addition of algebraic connectivity and radius of connected graphs.

Simple finite connected graphs G=V,E of p≥2 vertices are considered in this paper. A connected detour set of G is defined as a subset S⊆V such that the induced subgraph GS is connected and every vertex of G lies on a u−v detour for some u,v∈S. The connected detour number cdnG of a graph G is the minimum order of the connected detour sets of G. In this paper, we determined cdnG for three special classes of graphs G, namely, unicyclic graphs, bicyclic graphs, and cog-graphs for Cp, Kp, and Km,n.

Abstract Suppose that Γ is a graph of order n and A(Γ) = [ai,j] is its adjacency matrix such that ai,j is equal to 1 if vi is adjacent to vj and ai,j is zero otherwise, where 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n. In a family of graphs, a graph is called minimizing if the least eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix is minimum in the set of the least eigenvalues of all the graphs. Petrović et al. [On the least eigenvalue of cacti, Linear Algebra Appl., 2011, 435, 2357-2364] characterized a minimizing graph in the family of all cacti such that the complement of this minimizing graph is disconnected. In this paper, we characterize the minimizing graphs G ∈ $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_n \end{array}$, i.e. $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \lambda_{min}(G)\leq\lambda_{min}(C^c) \end{array}$$ for each Cc ∈ $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_n \end{array}$, where $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_n \end{array}$ is a collection of connected graphs such that the complement of each graph of order n is a cactus with the condition that either its each block is only an edge or it has at least one block which is an edge and at least one block which is a cycle.

The unicyclic graph Cn,gobtained by appending a cycle Cgof length g to a pendent vertex of a path on n - g vertices is the lollipop graph on n vertices. In [Algebraic connectivity of lollipop graphs, Linear Algebra Appl.434 (2011) 2204–2210], Guo et al. proved that a( Cn,g-1) < a( Cn,g) for g ≥ 4, where a( Cn,g) is the algebraic connectivity of Cn,g. In this paper, we present a new approach which is quite different from that of Guo et al. in proving a( Cn,g-1) < a( Cn,g) for g ≥ 4.

The total irregularity index of a graph [Formula: see text] is defined by Abdo et al. [H. Abdo, S. Brandt and D. Dimitrov, The total irregularity of a graph, Discrete Math. Theor. Comput. Sci. 16 (2014) 201–206] as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the degree of a vertex [Formula: see text]. In 2014, You et al. [L. H. You, J. S. Yang and Z. F. You, The maximal total irregularity of unicyclic graphs, Ars Comb. 114 (2014) 153–160.] characterized the graph having maximum [Formula: see text] value among all elements of the class [Formula: see text] (Unicyclic graphs) and Zhou et al. [L. H. You, J. S. Yang, Y. X. Zhu and Z. F. You, The maximal total irregularity of bicyclic graphs, J. Appl. Math. 2014 (2014) 785084, http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/785084 ] characterized the graph having maximum [Formula: see text] value among all elements of the class [Formula: see text] (Bicyclic graphs). In this paper, we characterize the aforementioned graphs with an alternative but comparatively simple approach. Also, we characterized the graphs having maximum [Formula: see text] value among the classes [Formula: see text] (Tricyclic graphs), [Formula: see text] (Tetracyclic graphs), [Formula: see text] (Pentacyclic graphs) and [Formula: see text] (Hexacyclic graphs).
