Characterizing the second smallest eigenvalue of the normalized Laplacian of a tree

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we show a monotonicity theorem for the harmonic eigenfunction of λ_{1} of the normalized Laplacian over the points of articulation of a graph. We introduce the definition of Perron component for the normalized Laplacian matrix of a graph and show how its second smallest eigenvalue can be characterized using this definition.
