It is proved that for any real number a with 0 a 1 or 2 a 3 the inequality q qn ft rfa En. holds and for any real number ft with 1 ft 2 the inequality qf qn Ẹf ụỉỉi holds. In both inequalities the equality is attained for a ị 1 2 if and only if G is bipartite. 1 Introduction Let G be a graph with vertex set V G v1 . vn and edge set E G e1 . em . The adjacency matrix of G A aij is an n X n matrix such that aij 1 if vi and Vj THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF COMBINATORICS 17 2010 R115 1 are adjacent and otherwise aij 0. The incidence matrix of G denoted by X xjj is the n X m matrix whose rows are indexed by the set of vertices of G and whose columns are indexed by the set of edges of G defined by _ i 1 if ej is incident with vp Xij 0 otherwise. If we consider an orientation for G then in a similar manner as for the incidence matrix the directed incidence matrix of the oriented graph G denoted by D dij is defined as 1 if ej is an incomming edge to vi -1 if ej is an outgoinging edge from vi 0 otherwise. Let A be the diagonal matrix whose entries are vertex degrees of G. The Laplacian matrix
