On the sum of the distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues of a graph and some inequalities involving them

Abstract

The distance signless Laplacian matrix of a connected graph [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the distance matrix of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is the diagonal matrix of vertex transmissions of [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] are the distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues of a simple graph [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text] then we put forward the graph invariants [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for the sum of [Formula: see text]-largest and the sum of [Formula: see text]-smallest distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues of a graph [Formula: see text], respectively. We obtain lower bounds for the invariants [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Then, we present some inequalities between the vertex transmissions, distance eigenvalues, distance Laplacian eigenvalues, and distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs. Finally, we give some new results and bounds for the distance signless Laplacian energy of graphs.
