Let G be a graph with a vertex weight ω and the vertices v 1 , . . . , v n . The Laplacian matrix of G with respect to ω is defined asThen the Laplacian energy of G with respect to ω defined asIn this paper we consider several natural vertex weights of G and obtain some inequalities between the ordinary and Laplacian energies of G with corresponding vertex weights. Finally, we apply our results to the molecular graph of toroidal fullerenes (or achiral polyhex nanotorus).
