On the Laplacian, signless Laplacian and normalized Laplacian characteristic polynomials of a graph

摘要

The Laplacian, signless Laplacian and normalized Laplacian characteristic polynomials of a graph are the characteristic polynomials of its Laplacian matrix, signless Laplacian matrix and normalized Laplacian matrix, respectively. In this paper, we mainly derive six reduction procedures on the Laplacian, signless Laplacian and normalized Laplacian characteristic polynomials of a graph which can be used to construct larger Laplacian, signless Laplacian and normalized Laplacian cospectral graphs, respectively.
