We denote by $D(M)$ the $n\\times n$ diagonal matrix $diag(\\sum_{j=1}^{m}m_{1j},\\ldots,\\sum_{j=1}^{m}m_{nj})$ and denote by $L_{A}^{\\rho}$ the generalized Laplacian matrix $D(A)-\\rho A$. A well-known result of Grone et al. states that by connecting one of the end-vertices of $P_{3}$ to an arbitrary vertex of a graph, does not change the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalue $1$. We extend this theorem and some other results for a given generalized Laplacian eigenvalue $\\mu$.
