No two starlikes have equal index
Published 5 Apr 2017 in math.CO | (1704.01663v2)
Abstract: The index of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. A starlike is a tree having a unique vertex of degree $r>2$. We show how to order the starlike trees with $n>3$ by their indices. In particular, the indices of starlike trees are all distinct.
