The spectral radius of graphs with no $K_{2,t}$ minor


Abstract in English

Let $tgeq3$ and $G$ be a graph of order $n,$ with no $K_{2,t}$ minor. If $n>400t^{6}$, then the spectral radius $muleft( Gright) $ satisfies [ muleft( Gright) leqfrac{t-1}{2}+sqrt{n+frac{t^{2}-2t-3}{4}}, ] with equality if and only if $nequiv1$ $(operatorname{mod}$ $t)$ and $G=K_{1}veeleftlfloor n/trightrfloor K_{t}$. For $t=3$ the maximum $muleft( Gright) $ is found exactly for any $n>40000$.
