Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$\,. Let
$\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots,\lambda_n$ be its eigenvalues and
$\mu_1,\mu_2,\ldots,\mu_n$ its Laplacian eigenvalues. The Estrada
index $EE$ of the graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the terms
$e^{\lambda_i} \ , \ i=1,2,\ldots,n$\,. In this paper the notion
of Laplacian--Estrada index ($L$-Estrada index, $LEE$) of a graph
is introduced. It is defined as the sum of the terms $e^{\mu_i} \
, i=1,2,łdots,n$\,. The basic properties of $LEE$ are
established, and compared with the analogous properties of $EE$\,.
In addition, the Estrada and $L$-Estrada indices of some important
classes of graphs are computed.
