On the coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of trees
Bulletin de l'Académie serbe des sciences. Classe des sciences mathématiques et naturelles, Tome 28 (2003), p. 31
Let the Laplacian characteristic polynomial
of an $n$-vertex tree $T$ be of the form $\psi(T,\lambda) =
\sum\limits_{k=0}^n (-1)^{n-k}\,c_k(T)\,\lambda^k$ . Then, as
well known, $c_0(T)=0$ and $c_1(T)=n$ . If $T$ differs from the
star ($S_n$) and the path ($P_n$), which requires $n \geq 5$ ,
then $c_2(S_n) c_2(T) c_2(P_n)$ and $c_3(S_n) c_3(T)
c_3(P_n)$ . If $n=4$ , then $c_3(S_n)=c_3(P_n)$ .
