Abstract

We conjecture that all connected graphs of order n have von Neumann entropy at least as great as the star K1;n1 and prove this for almost all graphs of order n. We show that connected graphs of order n have Renyi 2-entropy at least as great as K1;n1 and for > 1, Kn maximizes Renyi -entropy over graphs of order n. We show that adding an edge to a graph can lower its von Neumann entropy.
