The signless Laplacian matrix of hypergraphs

In this article, we define signless Laplacian matrix of a hypergraph and obtain structural properties from its eigenvalues. We generalize several known results for graphs, relating the spectrum of this matrix to structural parameters of the hypergraph such as the maximum degree, diameter, and the ch...

Description
Summary:In this article, we define signless Laplacian matrix of a hypergraph and obtain structural properties from its eigenvalues. We generalize several known results for graphs, relating the spectrum of this matrix to structural parameters of the hypergraph such as the maximum degree, diameter, and the chromatic number. In addition, we characterize the complete signless Laplacian spectrum for the class of power hypergraphs from the spectrum of its base hypergraph.
