On the distance signless Laplacian Estrada index of graphs

The distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues [Formula: see text] of a connected graph [Formula: see text] are the eigenvalues of the distance signless Laplacian matrix of [Formula: see text], defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the distance matrix of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is the diagonal matrix of vertex transmissions of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we define and investigate the distance signless Laplacian Estrada index of a graph [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text], and obtain some upper and lower bounds for [Formula: see text] in terms of other graph invariants. We also obtain some relations between [Formula: see text] and the auxiliary distance signless Laplacian energy of [Formula: see text].
