Sharp lower bounds on the spectral radius of uniform hypergraphs concerning degrees (Q1753081)

Summary: Let \(\mathcal{A}(H)\) and \(\mathcal{Q}(H)\) be the adjacency tensor and signless Laplacian tensor of an \(r\)-uniform hypergraph \(H\). Denote by \(\rho(H)\) and \(\rho(\mathcal{Q}(H))\) the spectral radii of \(\mathcal{A}(H)\) and \(\mathcal{Q}(H)\), respectively. In this paper we present a lower bound on \(\rho(H)\) in terms of vertex degrees and we characterize the extremal hypergraphs attaining the bound, which solves a problem posed by \textit{V. Nikiforov} [Linear Algebra Appl. 457, 455--535 (2014; Zbl 1291.05142)]. Also, we prove a lower bound on \(\rho(\mathcal{Q}(H))\) concerning degrees and give a characterization of the extremal hypergraphs attaining the bound.
