Abstract: For a connected graph G on n vertices, recall that the distance signless Laplacian matrix of G is defined to be mathcalQ(G)=Tr(G)+mathcalD(G), where mathcalD(G) is the distance matrix, Tr(G)=diag(D1,D2,ldots,Dn) and Di is the row sum of mathcalD(G) corresponding to vertex vi. Denote by homathcalD(G), hominmathcalD(G) the largest eigenvalue and the least eigenvalue of mathcalD(G), respectively. And denote by qmathcalD(G), qminmathcalD(G) the largest eigenvalue and the least eigenvalue of mathcalQ(G), respectively. The distance spread of a graph G is defined as SmathcalD(G)=homathcalD(G)hominmathcalD(G), and the distance signless Laplacian spread of a graph G is defined as SmathcalQ(G)=qmathcalD(G)qminmathcalD(G). In this paper, we point out an error in the result of Theorem 2.4 in "Distance spectral spread of a graph" [G.L. Yu, et al, Discrete Applied Mathematics. 160 (2012) 2474--2478] and rectify it. As well, we obtain some lower bounds on ddistance signless Laplacian spread of a graph.
