Let k be a natural number and let G be a graph with at least k vertices. A.E. Brouwer conjectured that the sum of the k largest Laplacian eigenvalues of G is at most e(G) (k choose 2), 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,...

We study graphs with spectral radius at most $\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{2}$ and refine results by Woo and Neumaier [On graphs whose spectral radius is bounded by $\frac{3}{2}\sqrt{2}$, Graphs Combinatorics 23 (2007), 713-726]. We study the limit points of the spectral radii of certain families of graphs,...
