Maxima of the Q-index: Forbidden even cycles

Abstract

Let G be a graph of order n and let q(G) be the largest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian of G. Let Sn,k be the graph obtained by joining each vertex of a complete graph of order k to each vertex of an independent set of order n-k; let Sn,k+ be the graph obtained by adding an edge to Sn,k. It is shown that if k ≥2≤, n≥400k2, and G is a graph of order n, with no cycle of length 2k+2, then q(G)
