Abstract: Let G be a simple undirected n-vertex graph with the characteristic polynomial of its Laplacian matrix L(G), det(lambdaIL(G))=sumk=0n(1)kcklambdank. It is well known that for trees the Laplacian coefficient cn2 is equal to the Wiener index of G. Using a result of Zhou and Gutman on the relation between the Laplacian coefficients and the matching numbers in subdivided bipartite graphs, we characterize first the trees with given diameter and then the connected graphs with given radius which simultaneously minimize all Laplacian coefficients. This approach generalizes recent results of Liu and Pan [MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 60 (2008), 85--94] and Wang and Guo [MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 60 (2008), 609--622] who characterized n-vertex trees with fixed diameter d which minimize the Wiener index. In conclusion, we illustrate on examples with Wiener and modified hyper-Wiener index that the opposite problem of simultaneously maximizing all Laplacian coefficients has no solution.
