Abstract

The first Zagreb index of a graph G is defined as the sum of the squares of the degrees of all the vertices in G. The Laplacian spectral radius of a graph G is defined as the largest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of the graph G. In this paper, we first establish inequalities on the first Zagreb index and the Laplacian spectral radius of a graph. Using the ideas of proving the inequalities, we present sufficient conditions involving the first Zagreb index and the Laplacian spectral radius for some Hamiltonian properties of graphs.
