  • The spectrum of the Laplacian matrix of a graph gives an information of the structure of the graph. For example, the product of non-zero eigenvalues of the characteristic polynomial of the Laplacian matrix of a graph with n vertices is n times of the number of spanning trees of that graph. The characteristic polynomial of the Laplacian matrix of a graph tells us the number of spanning trees and the connectivity of given graph. in this paper, we compute the characteristic polynomial of the Laplacian matrix of a graph bundle when its voltage lie in an abelian subgroup of the full automorphism group of the fibre; in particular, the automorphism group of the fibre is abelian. Also we study a relation between the characteristic polynomial of the Laplacian matrix of a graph G and that of the Laplacian matrix of a graph bundle over G. Some applications are also discussed.

  • For a finite commutative ring R with identity 1 ≠ 0, the zero divisor graph ��(R) is a simple connected graph having vertex set as the set of nonzero zero divisors of R, where two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy = 0. We find the signless Laplacian spectrum of the zero divisor graphs ��(ℤn) for various values of n. Also, we find signless Laplacian spectrum of ��(ℤn) for n = pz, z ≥ 2, in terms of signless Laplacian spectrum of its components and zeros of the characteristic polynomial of an auxiliary matrix. Further, we characterise n for which zero divisor graph ��(ℤn) are signless Laplacian integral.

  • A tree is called starlike if it has exactly one vertex of degree greate. than two. In [4] it was proved that two starlike trees G and H are cospectral if and only if they are isomorphic. We prove here that there exist no two non-isomorphic Laplacian cospectral starlike trees. Further, let G be a simple graph of order n with vertex set V(G) : {1,2, …, n} and let H = {$H_1$, $H_2$, …, $H_{n}$} be a family of rooted graphs. According to [2], the rooted product G(H) is the graph obtained by identifying the root of $H_{i}$ with the i-th vertex of G. In particular, if H is the family of the paths $P_k_1,P_k_2,...P_k_2$ with the rooted vertices of degree one, in this paper the corresponding graph G(H) is called the sunlike graph and is denoted by G($k_1,k_2,...k_n$). For any $(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)\;\in\;{I_*}^n$, where $I_{*}$ = : {0,1}, let G$(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)$ be the subgraph of G which is obtained by deleting the vertices $i_1,i_2,...i_j\;\in\;V(G)\;(O\leq j\leq n)$, provided that $x_i_1=x_i_2=...=x_i_j=o.\;Let \;G[x_1,x_2,...x_n]$ be characteristic polynomial of G$(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)$, understanding that G[0,0,...,0] $\equiv$1. We prove that $G[k_1,k_2,...,k_n]-\sum_{x\in In}[{\prod_{\imath=1}}^n\;P_k_i+x_i-2(\lambda)](-1)...G[x_1,x_2,...,X_n]$ where x=($x_1,x_2,...,x_n$);G[$k_1,k_2,...,k_n$] and $P_n(\lambda)$ denote the characteristic polynomial of G($k_1,k_2,...,k_n$) and $P_n$, respectively. Besides, if G is a graph with $\lambda_1(G)\;\geq1$ we show that $\lambda_1(G)\;\leq\;\lambda_1(G(k_1,k_2,...,k_n))<\lambda_1(G)_{\lambda_1}^{-1}(G}$ for all positive integers $k_1,k_2,...,k_n$, where $\lambda_1$ denotes the largest eigenvalue.
