The least distance eigenvalue of the complements of graphs of diameter greater than three

Abstract: Suppose $G$ is a connected simple graph with the vertex set $V( G ) = { v_1,v_2,\cdots ,v_n } $. Let $d_G( v_i,v_j ) $ be the least distance between $v_i$ and $v_j$ in $G$. Then the distance matrix of $G$ is $D( G ) =( d_{ij} ) {n\times n}$, where $d{ij}=d_G( v_i,v_j ) $. Since $D( G )$ is a non-negative real symmetric matrix, its eigenvalues can be arranged as $\lambda_1(G)\ge \lambda_2(G)\ge \cdots \ge \lambda_n(G)$, where eigenvalue $\lambda_n(G)$ is called the least distance eigenvalue of $G$. In this paper we determine the unique graph whose least distance eigenvalue attains maximum among all complements of graphs of diameter greater than three.
