Finding all H-Eigenvalues of Signless Laplacian Tensor for a Uniform Loose Path of Length Three

H-spectra of adjacency tensor, Laplacian tensor, and signless Laplacian tensor are important tools for revealing good geometric structures of the corresponding hypergraph. It is meaningful to compute H-spectra for some special [Formula: see text]-uniform hypergraphs. For an odd-uniform loose path of length three, the Laplacian H-spectrum has been studied. In this paper, we compute all signless Laplacian H-eigenvalues for the class of loose paths. We show that the number of H-spectrum of signless Laplacian tensor for an odd(even)-uniform loose path with length three is [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]). Some numerical results are given to show the efficiency of our method. Especially, the numerical results show that the H-spectrum is convergent when [Formula: see text] goes to infinity. Finally, we present a conjecture that the signless Laplacian H-spectrum converges to [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) for odd (even)-uniform loose path of length three.

Sharp Lower Bounds on the Spectral Radius of Uniform Hypergraphs Concerning Degrees

Let $\mathcal{A}(H)$ and $\mathcal{Q}(H)$ be the adjacency tensor and signless Laplacian tensor of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$. Denote by $\rho(H)$ and $\rho(\mathcal{Q}(H))$ the spectral radii of $\mathcal{A}(H)$ and $\mathcal{Q}(H)$, respectively. In this paper we present a lower bound on $\rho(H)$ in terms of vertex degrees and we characterize the extremal hypergraphs attaining the bound, which solves a problem posed by Nikiforov [Analytic methods for uniform hypergraphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 457 (2014) 455–535]. Also, we prove a lower bound on $\rho(\mathcal{Q}(H))$ concerning degrees and give a characterization of the extremal hypergraphs attaining the bound.
