A note on the bounds for the spectral radius of graphs.

Let G = (V , E) be a finite undirected graph of order n and of size m. Let Δ and δ be the largest and the smallest degree of G , respectively. The spectral radius of G is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of the graph G. In this note we give new bounds on the spectral radius of { C 3 , C 4 } -free graphs in terms of m , n , Δ and δ. Computer search shows that in most of the cases the bounds derived in this note are better than the existing bounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
