Abstract

We study the spectral radius of connected non-regular graphs. Let @l"1(n,@D) be the maximum spectral radius among all connected non-regular graphs with n vertices and maximum degree @D. We prove that @D-@l"1(n,@D)=@Q(@D/n^2). This improves two recent results by Stevanovic and Zhang, respectively.
