Corrigendum to the equivalent statement of the Laplacian Spread Conjecture

For a graph $G,$ let $\alpha(G)$ denote its second smallest Laplacian eigenvalue. The Laplacian Spread Conjecture states that $\alpha(G)+\alpha(\overline{G}) \geq 1,$ where $\overline{G}$ is the complement of $G.$ In this paper, we have corrected two conclusions: First, the necessary and sufficient condition for $\alpha(G) + \alpha(\overline{G}) \geq 1$ is $\parallel \bigtriangledown_{x} - \bigtriangledown_{y} \parallel^{2} \geq 1$ rather than $\parallel \bigtriangledown_{x} - \bigtriangledown_{y} \parallel^{2} \geq 2$ which has been proved in \cite{BS} as demonstrated in our study. Second, we show that the Laplacian spread of balanced digraph $\Gamma$ satisfies $LS(\Gamma) \leq n - \frac{1}{2}$ but not $LS(\Gamma) \leq n - 1$ in \cite{BCEHK}, since inequality $\parallel \bigtriangledown_{x} - \bigtriangledown_{y} \parallel^{2} \geq 2$ does not hold.

The graphs which are cospectral with the generalized pineapple graph

Let $p, k, q$ be positive integers with $p-2 \geqslant k$ and let $K_{p,k}^{q}$ be the generalized pineapple graph which is obtained by joining independent set of $q$ vertices with $k$ vertices of a complete graph $K_{p}.$ In \cite{TSH2}, Haemers et al. constructed graphs which cospectral with $K_{p,1}^{q}.$ In this paper, we determine all graphs which are cospectral with $K_{p,k}^{q}$ by considering the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. Moreover, We extend the conclusions of Haemers et al. to a broader context.
