Abstract(in English) The second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of a graph, also known as the algebraic connectivity, is an important measure that represents how strongly the graph is connected. The algebraic connectivity also characterizes the performance of some dynamic processes on networks such as consensus of multiagent networks and synchronization of coupled oscillators. For example, it is well known that the larger the algebraic connectivity of the multiagent network is, the faster the convergence of a representative consensus algorithm. In this report, we consider graphs that maximize the algebraic connectivity over all graphs with the same number of vertices and edges. We first find such graphs with a small number of vertices by using an exhaustive search based on a graph enumeration algorithm. We next focus our attention on the complete multipartite regular graphs, and prove that they maximize the algebraic connectivity over all graphs with the same number of vertices and edges.
