Abstract:
      A connected graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a quasi-tree graph, if there exists a vertex $v_0\in V(G)$ such that $G-v_0$ is a tree. Liu and Lu [Linear Algebra Appl. 428 (2008) 2708-2714] determined the maximal spectral radius together with the corresponding graph among all quasi-tree graphs on $n$ vertices. In this paper, we extend their result, and determine the second to the fifth largest spectral radii together with the corresponding graphs among all quasi-tree graphs on $n$ vertices.
