Title
The Maximum Spectral Radius Of Wheel-Free Graphs
Abstract
A wheel graph is a graph formed by connecting a single vertex to all vertices of a cycle. A graph is called wheel-free if it does not contain any wheel graph as a subgraph. In 2010, Nikiforov proposed a Brualdi-Solheid-Turan type problem: what is the maximum spectral radius of a graph of order n that does not contain subgraphs of particular kind. In this paper, we study the Brualdi-Solheid-Turan type problem for wheel-free graphs, and we determine the maximum (signless Laplacian) spectral radius of a wheel-free graph of order n. Furthermore, we characterize the extremal graphs. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
