2 MAXIMA OF THE SIGNLESS LAPLACIAN SPECTRAL RADIUS FOR PLANAR GRAPHS GUANGLONG YU, JIANYONG WANG, AND SHU-GUANG GUO Abstract. The signless Laplacian spectral radius of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of its signless Laplacian. In this paper, it is proved that the graph K 2 P has the maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius among all planar graphs of order n 456. Key words. Signless Laplacian, Spectral radius, Planar graph. AMS subject classifications. 05C Introduction. Recently, the signless Laplacian has attracted the attention of researchers (see [ 6, 9]). Some results on the signless Laplacian spectrum have been reported since 2005 and a new spectral theory called Q-theory is being developed by many researchers. Simultaneously, the application of the Q-theory has been extensively explored [7, 8, 16]. Schwenk and Wilson initiated the study of the eigenvalues of planar graphs [12]. In [2], D. Cao and A. Vince conjectured that K 2 P has the maximum spectral radius among all planar graphs of order n, where denotes the join of two graphs obtainedfromtheunionofthesetwographsbyjoiningeachvertexofthefirstgraphto each vertex of the second graph. The conjecture is still open. With the development of the Q-theory, a natural question is: What about the maximum signless Laplacian spectral radius of planar graphs? By some comparisons in [9], it seems plausible that K 2 P also has the maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius among planar graphs. In this paper, we confirm that among planar graphs with order n 456, K 2 P has the maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius. The layout of this paper is as follows. Section 2 gives some notations and some needed lemmas. In Section, our results are presented. Received by the editors November 25, Accepted for publication on September 15, Handling Editor: Bryan L.

Denote by G = G[V(G), E(G)] a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). The number of vertices, resp., edges, of G is denoted by n = V(G), resp., m(g) = E(G). Recall that given a graph G, Q(G) = D(G) + A(G) is the signless Laplacian matrix of G, where D(G) = diag(d 1,d 2,...,d n )withd i = d G (v i )beingthedegreeofvertexv i (1 i n), and A(G) being the adjacency matrix of G. The signless Laplacian spectral radius of G, denoted by q(g), is the largest eigenvalue of Q(G). For a connected graph G of order n, the Perron eigenvector of Q(G) is the unit (with respect to the Euclidean norm) positive eigenvector corresponding to q(g); the standard eigenvector of Q(G) is the positive eigenvector X = (x 1,x 2,...,x n ) T R n corresponding to q(g) n satisfying = 1. i=1 Denote by K n, C n, P n a complete graph, a cycle and a path of order n, respectively. For a graph G, if there is no ambiguity, we use d(v) instead of d G (v), use δ or δ(g) to denote the minimum vertex degree, use or (G) to denote the largest vertex degree, and use or (G) to denote the second largest vertex degree. In a graph, the notation v i v j denotes that vertex v i is adjacent to v j. Denote by K s,t a complete bipartite graph with one part of size s and another part of size t. In a graph G, for a vertex u V(G), let N G (u) denote the neighbor set of u, and let N G [u] = {u} N G (u). G(u) = G[N G [u]], G (u) = G[N G (u)] denote the subgraphs induced by N G [u], N G (u), respectively. The reader is referred to[1, 10] for the facts about planar and outer-planar graphs. A graph which can be drawn in the plane in such a way that edges meet only at points corresponding to their common ends is called a planar graph, and such a drawing is called a planar embedding of the graph. A simple planar graph is (edge) maximal if no edge can be added to the graph without violating planarity. In the planar embedding of a maximal planar graph G of order n, each face is triangle. For a planar graph G of order n, we have m(g) n 6 with equality if and only if it is maximal. In a maximal planar graph G of order n 4, δ(g). A graph G is outer-planar if it has a planar embedding, called standard embedding, in which all vertices lie on the boundary of its outer face. A simple outer-planar graph is (edge) maximal if no edge can be added to the graph without violating outer-planarity. In a standard embedding of a maximal outer-planar graph G of order n, the boundary of the outer face is a Hamiltonian cycle (a cycle contains all vertices) of G, and each of the other faces is triangle. For an outer-planar graph G, we have m(g) 2n with equality if and only if it is maximal. In a maximal planar graph G of order n 4 and for a vertex u V(G), we have that G (u) is an outer-planar graph, and G(u) = u G (u). From a nonmaximal planar graph G, by inserting edges to G, a maximal planar graph G can be obtained. From spectral graph theory, for a graph

Consequently, when we consider the maxima of the signless Laplacian spectral radius among planar graphs, it suffices to consider the maximal planar graphs directly. Note that for n = 1,2,,4, a maximal planar graph G of order n is isomorphic to K n. Their signless Laplacian spectral radii can be easily determined by some computations. As a result, to consider the maxima of the signless Laplacian spectral radius among planar graphs of order n, we pay more attentions to those of order n 5. Next we introduce some needed lemmas. Lemma 2.1. [1] Let u be a vertex of a maximal outer-planar graph on n 2 vertices. Then v ud(v) n+d(u) 4. Lemma 2.2. [11] Let G be a graph. Then { q(g) max u V(G) d G (u)+ 1 d G (u) } d G (v). v u Lemma 2.. [5] Let G be a connected graph containing at least one edge. Then q(g) +1 with equality if and only if G = K 1,n 1.. Main results. Lemma.1. Let G be a maximal planar graph of order n. Then { q(g) max d G (u)+2+ n 9 }. u V(G) d G (u) Proof. Let u V(G), N G (u) = {v 1,v 2,...,v t }, and V 1 = V(G)\N G [u]. For 1 i t, let α i = d G (u)(v i ). Note that m(g (u)) = E(G (u)) = 1 t α i. 2 Between N G (u) and V 1, there are n [ d G (v) = d G (u)+ n v u i=1 t α i d G (u) edges. Consequently, i=1 ] t α i d G (u) + i=1 t α i = n i=1 t α i. Since G (u) is an outer-planar graph, m(g (u)) 2d G (u). As a result, v ud G (v) n 9+2d G (u), and thus, d G (u)+ 1 d G (u) v u d G (v) d G (u)+2+ n 9 d G (u). i=1

Let G be a maximal planar graph of order n with largest degree (G). As discussed in section 2, we know that if n 4, then d G (u) for any vertex u V(G). Thus, d G (u)+ 1 { d G (v) max 5+ n 9, (G)+2+ n 9 }. d G (u) (G) v u Moreover, if n 6 and (G) n, then q(g) n+2. v 1 vn v 5 v 4 v Fig..1.

By symmetry, x 1 = x 2, x = x n. By Lemma 2., q(h n ) n. (.1) Note that q(h n )x 1 = (n 1)x 1 +x 2 + i= x 1 = n = ()x Thus, i= 1 q(h n ) n+2. n n Note that q(h n ) = 6 x n +2()x 1 2(x +x n ). Thus, n i= As a result, (.2) = 2()x 1 4x q(h n ) 6 i= and 1 = n i=1 = 2()x 1 4x q(h n ) 6 x = 2() (q(h n) n)(q(h n ) 6). 4(q(H n ) n+2) +x 1 +x 2.

Combining with (.1) and (.2), we get (.) 2() (q(h n ) n)(q(h n ) 6) 4(q(H n ) n+2) < i=5 1 q(h n ) n+2. Simplifying (.), we get q 2 (H n ) (6+n)q(H n )+4n+8 > 0. It follows that q(h n ) > n+2. FromRemark1andLemma.2, weseethattoconsiderthemaximaofthesignless Laplacian spectral radius among planar graphs of order n 5, it suffices to consider those with maximum degree n 1 or. Lemma.. [14] Let A be an irreducible nonnegative square real matrix of order n and spectral radius ρ. If there exists a nonnegative real vector y 0 and a real coefficient polynomial function f such that f(a)y ry (r R), then f(ρ) r. Lemma.4. Let 1 k 12 be an integer number, and let G be a maximal planar graph of order n 115, where d G (v 1 ) = (G) =, for i = 2,,...,k +1, n 6 +1 d G(v i ) n 61, and for k+2 i n, d G (v i ) < n Then q(g). Proof. Let X = (x 1,x 2,x,...,x n ) T R n be a positive vector, where 1, i = 1; 1 = k, 2 i k +1; n k 1, k +2 i n. For v 1, we have ()x 1 + v j v 1 (n k 2) +1+ < n+2. x 1 n k 1 For v i (k +2 i n), we have d G (v i ) + v j v i d G (v i )+ k+1 j=1 xj+(d G (v i ) k 1) n k 1 n k 1 n+2, d(v i ) k +1; d G (v i )+ dg (v i ) j=1 n k 1 d G (v i )+ 1+d G (v i ) 1 k n k 1 < n+2, d G (v i ) k.
7 800 Guanglong Yu, Jianyong Wang, and Shu-guang Guo (.4) For v i (2 i k +1), since n 115 and 1 k 12, we have d G (v i ) > k. Thus, d G (v i ) + v j v i = (d G(v i ) 1) + + v j v i ( 1+ k Let f(k) = n k 1 with respect to k, we get d G (v i ) 1+ = ( 1+ ) d G (v i ) k+1 j=1 + (dg(vi) k) n k 1 1 ) k d G (v i ) n k 1 k k 2 +2k 1. n k 1 k 2 +2k 1. Taking derivation of f(k) n k 1 f (k) = (n k 1)(2+d G(v i ) 8k)+kd G (v i ) k 2 (n k 1) 2. Since d G (v i ) k and n 115, we get f (k) > 0. This implies that f(k) is monotone increasing with respect to k. Since n 115, k 12, and d G (v i ) n 61, we conclude that ( 1+ ) k d G (v i ) n k 1 Thus, from (.4), we get d G(v i ) + v j v i k 2 +2k 1 < n+2. n k 1 < n+2. By the above discussion, we get Q(G)X (n+2)x. The proof is now completed by applying Lemma.. Lemma.5. Let G be a maximal planar graph of order n 80 with d G (v 1 ) = (G) =, and (G) n 62. Then q(g) n+2. Proof. Supposed G (v 2 ) = (G). LetX = (x 1,x 2,x,...,x n ) T R n beapositive vector, where 1, i = 1; = 1, i = 2;, i n. For v 1, we have ()x 1 + v j v 1 x (n ) < n+2. Next, there are two cases to consider.

Then v n is in one of the inner faces of G v 1 (see Fig..2). For v 2, since d G (v 2 ), we have d G (v 2 )x 2 + v j v 2 x 2 d G (v 2 )+1+ (d G(v 2 ) 1) n+2. Denote by C v1 = v 2 v v v n 1 v 2 the Hamiltonian cycle in G v 1. Suppose that v i s (2 i n 1) are distributed along the clockwise direction on C v1 and suppose N G v1 (v 2 ) = {v 21,v 22,...,v 2t }, where for 1 i t 1, 2 i < 2 i+1, v 21 = v, v 2t = v n 1 (see Fig..2). For 1 j t, suppose there are l j 1 vertices between v 2j 1 and v 2j along the clockwise direction on C v1, where if j = 1, we let v 20 = v 2. Along the clockwise direction on C v1, suppose there are l t vertices between v 2t and v 2.

Note that (.6) (.7) q(g)x k = x k +x k 1 +x k+1 +x 1, q(g)x 2 = ()x 2 +x 1 +. i n,i k Equations (.6) and (.7) imply that (q(g) )(x 2 x k ) = (n 5)x 2 + i k 2 + k+2 i n. Because n 15, it follows immediately that x 2 > x k. Note that q(g)x k 1 = 5x k 1 +x 1 +x 2 +x k 2 +x k +x k+1, Thus, q(g)x k+1 = 5x k+1 +x 1 +x 2 +x k 1 +x k +x k+2.

The fact that n 15 and (.10) holding imply that x 2 +x k > x k 1 +x k+1. Let F = G v k 1 v k+1 +v 2 v k. Note the relation between the Rayleigh quotient and the largest eigenvalue of a non-negative real symmetric matrix, and note that X T Q(F)X X T Q(G)X = (x 2 +x k ) 2 (x k 1 +x k+1 ) 2. It follows that when n 15, then q(f) > X T Q(F)X > X T Q(G)X = q(g). Because F = H n, it follows that q(h n ) > q(g). Then (i) follows. (ii) d G (v 2 ) = n. Since v 1 is adjacent to v 2, among v 2,v,...,v n 1,v n, there must be two vertices nonadjacent to v 2. Thus, there are three cases for G, that is,
15 808 Guanglong Yu, Jianyong Wang, and Shu-guang Guo G = D 2, G = D or G = D 4 (see Fig..6). Without loss of generality suppose that in D 2, neither v k nor v k+1 are adjacent to v 2 ; in D, neither v k 1 nor v k+1 are adjacent to v 2 ; in D 4, neither v k nor v l are adjacent to v 2. By Lemma 2., we know that q(g) > 15. Case 1. G = D 2. For convenience, we suppose that G = D 2. Because d G (v 2 ) = n, it follows that 4 k. Let X = (x 1,x 2,...,x n ) T R n be the Perron eigenvector of Q(G). Note that (.11) q(g)x k+1 = x k+1 +x 1 +x k +x k+2, (.12) q(g)x k = 4x k +x 1 +x k 1 +x k+1 +x k+2. From (.11) and (.12), we get (.1) (q(g) 2)(x k x k+1 ) = x k +x k 1. Since n 15 and (.1) holds, we conclude that x k > x k+1. (.14) Note that q(g)x 2 = (n )x 2 +x i k 1 k+2 i n From (.12) and (.14), we get (.15) q(g)(x 2 +x k ) = (n )x 2 +2x 1 +4x k +2x k 1 +x k+1 +2x k+2 + i k 2 + k+ i n. Note that (.16) q(g)x k 1 = 5x k 1 +x 1 +x 2 +x k 2 +x k +x k+2. From (.11) and (.16), we get that (.17) q(g)(x k 1 +x k+1 ) = 5x k 1 +x k 2 +2x 1 +x 2 +2x k +x k+1 +2x k+2. From (.12) and (.17), we get that (.18) (q(g) 2)(x k 1 +x k+1 x k ) = x 1 +x 2 +x k 2 +2x k 1 +x k+2 > 0.
16 Maxima of the Signless Laplacian Spectral Radius for Planar Graphs 809 Since n 15 and (.18) holds, we conclude that x k 1 +x k+1 > x k. From (.11) and (.14), we get that (.19) (q(g) 4)(x 2 x k+1 ) = (n 7)x 2+x k 1 +x k+1 x k + i k 2 x i+ k+ i n > 0. Since n 15 and (.19) holds, we conclude that x 2 > x k+1. From (.12) and (.14), we get that (.20) (q(g) 4)(x 2 x k ) = (n 8)x 2 +x 2 x k > 0. i k 2 k+ i n Since n 15 and (.20) holds, we conclude that x 2 > x k. From (.14) and (.16), we get that (.21) (q(g) 4)(x 2 x k 1 ) = (n 9)x 2 +x 2 x k + +. Since n 15 and (.21) holds, we conclude that x 2 > x k 1. Note that i k k+ i n (.22) q(g)x k+2 = 6x k+2 +x k+1 +x k +x k 1 +x k+ +x 2 +x 1. From (.14) and (.22), we get that (.2) (q(g) 5)(x 2 x k+2 ) = (n 11)x 2+x 2 x k +x 2 x k+1 + x i+. Since n 15 and (.2) holds, we conclude that x 2 > x k+2. From (.16) and (.22), we get that i k 2 k+4 i n (.24) q(g)(x k 1 +x k+2 ) = 2x 1 +2x 2 +x k 2 +6x k 1 +2x k +x k+1 +7x k+2 +x k+. From (.15) and (.24), we get that (.25) q(g)(x 2 +x k ) q(g)(x k 1 +x k+2 ) = (n 14)x 2 +4x 2 4x k 1 +2x k +5x 2 5x k+2 + i k + k+4 i n. Since n 15 and (.25) holds, we conclude that x 2 +x k > x k 1 +x k+2. Let F = G v k 1 v k+2 +v 2 v k. Note that X T Q(F)X X T Q(G)X = (x 2 +x k ) 2 (x k 1 +x k+2 ) 2.
17 810 Guanglong Yu, Jianyong Wang, and Shu-guang Guo It follows that when n 15, then q(f) > X T Q(F)X > X T Q(G)X = q(g). By (i), it follows immediately that q(h n ) > q(f) > q(g). Case 2. G = D. For convenience, we suppose that G = D. Because d G (v 2 ) = n, it follows that 5 k. Let F = G v k v k+2 +v 2 v k+1. By an argument similartocase1, it canbeprovedthatq(g) < q(f). By(i), wegetthatq(f) < q(h n ). Then q(g) < q(h n ). Case. G = D 4. For convenience, we suppose that G = D 4. Because d G (v 2 ) = n, it follows that 4 k l 2, l n 1. Let F = G v l 1 v l+1 +v 2 v l. By an argument similar to Case 1, it can be proven that q(g) < q(f). By (i), we get that q(f) < q(h n ). Then q(g) < q(h n ). From the above three cases, (ii) follows. Theorem.12. Let G be a planar graph of order n 456. Then q(g) q(h n ) with equality if and only if G = H n. Proof. This theorem follows from the discussions in Section 2, Lemmas.1,.2,.8.11 and Theorem.7. Remark 2. As for the planar graphs of order n 455, perhaps by computations with computer, one can check and find which ones have the maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius. By some computations and comparisons with computer, for the planargraphsofordern 10, we find H n has the maximal signlesslaplacianspectral radius. Based on this, for the planar graphs of order n 455, we conjecture that the graph H n still has the maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius. Acknowledgment.
