D. Cvetkovic et al., Variable neighborhood search for extremal graphs 3. On the largest eigenvalue of color-constrained trees, LINEAR MULT, 49(2), 2001, pp. 143-160
In the set of bicolored trees with given numbers of black and of white vert
ices we describe those for which the largest eigenvalue is extremal (maxima
l or minimal). The results are first obtained by the automated system AutoG
raphiX, developed. in GERAD (Montreal), and verified afterwards by theoreti
cal means.
