Tarantula graphs are determined by their Laplacian spectrum

<p class="p1">A graph <em>G</em> is said to be determined by its Laplacian spectrum (DLS) if every graph with the same Laplacian spectrum is isomorphic to <em>G</em>. A graph which is a collection of hexagons (lengths of these cycles can be different) all shar...

description <p class="p1">A graph <em>G</em> is said to be determined by its Laplacian spectrum (DLS) if every graph with the same Laplacian spectrum is isomorphic to <em>G</em>. A graph which is a collection of hexagons (lengths of these cycles can be different) all sharing precisely one vertex is called a spinner graph. A tree with exactly one vertex of degree greater than 2 is called a starlike tree. If a spinner graph and a starlike tree are joined by merging their vertices of degree greater than 2, then the resulting graph is called a tarantula graph. It is known that spinner graphs and starlike trees are DLS.  In this paper, we prove that tarantula graphs are determined by their Laplacian spectrum.</p>
