Algebraic Connectivity and Degree Sequences of Trees

Publication: Scientific journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

We investigate the structure of trees that have minimal algebraic connectivity among
all trees with a given degree sequence. We show that such trees are caterpillars and
that the vertex degrees are non-decreasing on every path on non-pendant vertices
starting at the characteristic set of the Fiedler vector.
