摘要
Let C-n,C-g be the lollipop graph obtained by appending a g-cycle C-g to a pendant vertex of a path on n - g vertices. In 2002, Fallat, Kirkland and Pati proved that for n >= 3g-1/2 and g >= 4, alpha (C-n,C-g) > alpha (C-n,C-g-1) In this paper, we prove that for g >= 4, alpha (C-n,C-,C-g) > alpha (C-n,C-g-1) for all n, where alpha(C-n,C-g) is the algebraic connectivity of C-n,C-g.
