Let ?1and ?2 denote the largest and the second largest eigenvalue, respectively. The family of trees having only three end vertices and satisfying a certain equality involving ?1and ?2 is characterized. Also, bounds on ?2 for the above family of trees are investigated.enSpectral characterization of trees.Thesis
