Abstract: Let G be a graph .The Laplacian matrix L(G)=D(G)-A(G)is the difference of the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees and the 0-1 adjacency matrix. Various aspects of the spectrum of this matrix of unicyclic graphs are investigated. Particular attention is given to the algebraic connecticity, the second least eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix.

Key words: Laplacian matrix, algebraic connecticity, unicyclic graphs, Laplacian matrix, algebraic connecticity
