摘要
Let G be a graph, its Laplacian matrix is the difference of the diagonal matrix of its vertex degrees and its adjacency matrix. In this paper, we generalize a result in (R. Merris, Port. Math.48 (3) 1991) and obtain the following result: Let G be a graph and M(G) be a maximum matching in G. Then the number of edges in M(G) is a lower bound for the number of Laplacian eigenvalues of G exceeding 2. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved. AMS classification: 05c50.
