Abstract

Let @?(n,g) be the class of bicyclic graphs on n vertices with girth g. Let @?"1(n,g) be the subclass of @?(n,g) consisting of all bicyclic graphs with two edge-disjoint cycles and @?"2(n,g)=@?(n,g)@?@?"1(n,g). This paper determines the unique graph with the maximal Laplacian spectral radius among all graphs in @?"1(n,g) and @?"2(n,g), respectively. Furthermore, the upper bound of the Laplacian spectral radius and the extremal graph for @?(n,g) are also obtained.
