Abstract

The distance signless Laplacian spectral radius of a connected graph G is the largest eigenvalue of the distance signless Laplacian matrix of G, defined as DQ(G)=Tr(G)+D(G), where D(G) is the distance matrix of G and Tr(G) is the diagonal matrix of vertex transmissions of G. In this paper, we determine some new upper and lower bounds on the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius of G and characterize the extremal graphs attaining these bounds.
