摘要
Let k be a natural number and let G be a graph with at least k vertices. Brouwer conjectured that the sum of the k largest Laplacian eigen-values of G is at most e(G) + ((2) (k + 1)), where e(G) is the number of edges of G. We prove this conjecture for k = 2. We also show that if G is a tree, then the sum of the k largest Laplacian eigenvalues of G is at most e(G) + 2k - 1. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
