A linear algebraic proof of the Laplacian spread conjecture

Abstract

For a graph G, let α(G) denote its second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue. The Laplacian Spread Conjecture is that α(G)+α(G) ≥ 1, where G is the complement of G. In this article, we provide a new proof of the Laplacian spread conjecture by means of linear algebra, which is more concise.
