1 Introduction
Let be a simple (i.e., no loops or multiedges) hypergraph, where the vertex set and the edge set with for . Further, if for , then is called a uniform hypergraph. The degree of vertex in a hypergraph , written , is the number of edges incident to , i.e., . The sequence is called degree sequence of . If the degree of each vertex is equal to , i.e., , then is called a reguar hypergraph.
Let and be two positive integers. An order and dimension tensor over the complex field is a multidimensional array with all entries for and . Clearly, a tensor of order and dimension is a vector and a tensor of order and dimension is an matrix. For the sake of simplicity, is denoted by where . If and are two tensors of order and order , dimension , respectively, the product of two tensors and (see [13]) is defined to be the tensor is an order and dimension , where
[TABLE]
For a tensor of order and dimension , if there exists a complex number and a vector (i.e. a tensor of order and dimension such that
[TABLE]
where , then is called an eigenvalue of and is called an eigenvector of corresponding to the eigenvalue (for example, see [10]). The largest modulus of eigenvalues of is called spectral radius of and denoted by . It is known (for example, see [15]) that for a nonnegative tensor , is a nonnegative eigenvalue and corresponding to a nonnegative eigenvector. The readers may refer to an excellent survey [1] for spectral theory of nonnegative tensors.
For a hypergraph , there are a few tensors associated with . The most important tensor associated with may be the adjacency tensor. The adjacency tensor of a uniform hypergraph on vertices is defined as the tensor of order and dimension , where
[TABLE]
The spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a uniform hypergraph is called spectral radius of and denoted by . The spectral theory of hypergraph has received more and more attention. For example, Cooper and Dutle [2] gave an excellent survey on the spectral theory of uniform hypergraph. Another important tensor associated with uniform hypergraph is signless Laplacian tensor. Let be a th order dimensional diagonal tensor whose diagonal entry . Then is called the signless Laplacian tensor of . The spectral radius of is called the signless Lapalcian spectral radius of and denoted by . Li et. al. [8] gave some upper bounds for the spectral radius and spectral radius of uniform hypergraphs in terms of parameters such as number of vertices, number of edges, maximum degree, and minimum degree. Yuan et.al. [16] presented upper bounds for spectral radius and signless spectral raidus of hypergraphs in terms of the degrees of vertices. The related results may be referred to [3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 17].
In this paper, we present some upper bound for spectral radius and signless Laplacian spectral radius of a unform hypergraph in terms of degree sequences, which extends some known results on hypergraphs. In Section 2, Some preliminaries and Lemmas are presented. In Section 3, we present the main results of this paper and proof.
