摘要
A bug Bug(p,q1,q2) is a graph obtained from a complete graph K-p by deleting an edge uv and attaching paths P-q1 and P-q2, at u and v, respectively. In this paper, we show that for connected graphs G of order n with signless Laplacian index q(1)(G) and diameter diam(G), q(1)(G) . diam(G) is maximized for and only for the graph Bug([n/2]+2,p,q), where p = [d/2], q = [d/2] and d = [(n+ 1)/2]. This solves a conjecture in [6] on the signless Laplacian index involving the diameter. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
