摘要
Let G be a graph with n vertices and M edges, and let S-k(G) be the sum of the k largest Laplacian eigenvalues of G. It was conjectured by Brouwer that S-k(G) <= m + (GRAPHICS) holds for 1 <= k <= n. In this paper, we present several families of graphs for which Brouwer's conjecture holds, which improve some previously known results. We also establish a new upper bound on S-k(G) for split graphs, which is tight for each k is an element of {1, 2, . . . , n - 1} and turns out to be better than that conjectured by Brouwer.
