He, Changxiang; Liu, Shiqiong The star matching number and (signless) Laplacian eigenvalues. (Chinese. English summary) Zbl 1340.05165 Appl. Math., Ser. A (Chin. Ed.) 30, No. 3, 333-339 (2015). Summary: Let \(G\) be a simple graph, and \(s\leqslant 3\) be an integer. In this paper, if \(G\) is a connected graph with order \(n\) and \(K_{1, s}\)-matching number \(m(G)\), such that \(n>(s+1)m(G)\), then the \(m(G)\)-th largest Laplacian eigenvalue \(\mu_{m(G)}>s+1\). And this result also holds for signless spectra. As an application, some \(Q\)-eigenvalue conditions which can determine the Hamiltonicity of a graph are listed.
