abstract

Brouwer conjectured that the sum of the first $k$ largest Laplacian eigenvalues of an $n$-vertex graph is less than or equal to the number of its edges plus $\binom{k+1}{2}$ for each $k\in \{1,2,\cdots,n\}$, which has come to be known as Brouwer's conjecture. Recently, Li and Guo further considered the case when the equalities hold in these conjectured inequalities, and proposed the full version of Brouwer's conjecture. In this paper, we first present a concise version of the full Brouwer's conjecture. Then we show that the full Brouwer's conjecture holds for two families of spanning subgraphs of complete split graphs and for $c$-cyclic graphs with $c\in\{0,1,2\}$. We also consider the Nordhaus-Gaddum version of the full Brouwer's conjecture and present partial solutions to it.

  1. A Matching-Number Refinement of Brouwer's Laplacian Eigenvalue Inequality

    math.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The inequality ε_k(G) ≤ kν(G) holds for all graphs in the range 1≤k≤n(G)−2, resolving Lew's conjecture, with all equality cases characterized.

  2. Sums of Laplacian eigenvalues and sums of degrees

    math.CO 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For any simplicial complex, the sum of the k largest upper-Laplacian eigenvalues is at most the sum of the (r+1)k largest r-degrees of (r-1)-faces, with applications to graphs and partite complexes.
