“…The arguments given in [8,10,35] support the above idea. The second reason for the interest in the signless Laplacian matrix is that using Q-spectra to study graphs is more efficient than studying them by their (adjacency) spectra; see S. Li (B) · L. Zhang Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics, Central China Normal University, Wuhan 430079, People's Republic of China e-mail: lscmath@mail.ccnu.edu.cn [5,8,9,[11][12][13][14][16][17][18]20,21,30,37,38]. Another reason for the interest in the signless Laplacian matrix is that the set of signless Laplacian matrices is a class of non-negative matrices each of which has combinatorial significance.…”
