In this paper, we present a sharp upper bound for the signless Laplacian spectral radius of all $F_{a_1,\\dots,a_k}$-free graphs and characterize all extremal graphs which attain the bound. The stability methods and structure of graphs associated with the eigenvalue are adapted for the proof.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-09T09:24:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C50", "05C35" ], "keywords": [ "signless laplacian spectral radius", "intersecting odd cycles", "sharp upper bound", "common vertex", "extremal graphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
