Ordering uniform supertrees by their spectral radii

摘要

A supertree is a connected and acyclic hypergraph. For a hypergraph H, the maximal modulus of the eigenvalues of its adjacency tensor is called the spectral radius of H. By applying the operation of moving edges on hypergraphs and the weighted incidence matrix method, we determine the ninth and the tenth k-uniform supertrees with the largest spectral radii among all k-uniform supertrees on n vertices, which extends the known result.
