On the Maximum ABC Spectral Radius of Connected Graphs and Trees

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph, where $V=\{v_1, v_2, \cdots, v_n\}$ and $m=|E|$. $d_i$ will denote the degree of vertex $v_i$ of $G$, and $Δ=\max_{1\leq i \leq n} d_i$. The ABC matrix of $G$ is defined as $M(G)=(m_{ij})_{n \times n}$, where $m_{ij}=\sqrt{(d_i + d_j -2)/(d_i d_j)}$ if $v_i v_j \in E$, and 0 otherwise. The largest eigenvalue of $M(G)$ is called the ABC spectral radius of $G$, denoted by $ρ_{ABC}(G)$. Recently, this graph invariant has attracted some attentions. We prove that $ρ_{ABC}(G) \leq \sqrt{Δ+(2m-n+1)/Δ-2}$. As an application, the unique tree with $n \geq 4$ vertices having second largest ABC spectral radius is determined.
