Abstract: Let G be a graph with adjacency matrix A(G) and let D(G) be the diagonal matrix of the degrees of G. For every real alphainleft[0,1ight], write Aalphaleft(Gight) for the matrix [ A_{alpha}left( G ight) =alpha Dleft( G ight) +(1-alpha)Aleft( G ight) . ] This paper presents some extremal results about the spectral radius hoalphaleft(Gight) of Aalphaleft(Gight) that generalize previous results about ho0left(Gight) and ho1/2left(Gight). In particular, write Bp,q,r be the graph obtained from a complete graph Kp by deleting an edge and attaching paths Pq and Pr to its ends. It is shown that if alphainleft[0,1ight) and G is a graph of order n and diameter at least k, then% [ ho_{alpha}(G)leq ho_{alpha}(B_{n-k+2,lfloor k/2 floor,lceil k/2 ceil}), ] with equality holding if and only if G=Bnk+2,lfloork/2floor,lceilk/2ceil. This result generalizes results of Hansen and Stevanovi'{c} cite{HaSt08}, and Liu and Lu cite{LiLu14}.
