Abstract

The Radenković and Gutman conjecture establishes a relationship between the Laplacian eigenvalues of any tree \(T_n\), the star graph \(S_n\), and the path graph \(P_n\), i.e., \({LE}(P_n) \leq {LE}(T_n) \leq {LE}(S_n).\) In this paper, we prove this conjecture for a class of trees with \(n\) vertices and having diameter \(16\) to \(30\).
