Abstract

The algebraic connectivity of a graph G is the second smallest eigenvalue of its Laplacian matrix. Let ℐ n be the set of all trees of order n. In this paper, we will provide the ordering of trees in ℐ n up to the last eight trees according to their smallest algebraic connectivities when n ≥ 13. This extends the result of Shao et al.
