TL;DR
This work solves the classification problem for connected non-bipartite $Q$-integral graphs with signless Laplacian eigenvalues all integral and $Q$-spectral radius at most $6$ by extending prior results to the $\rho(Q)=6$ case. It combines subgraph-based obstructions, interlacing and Perron–Frobenius theory with a computer-assisted, iterative subgraph-extension approach, starting from a distinguished adjacent pair of degrees $4$ and $3$. The authors derive rigorous constraints that exclude most configurations (two common neighbours, various $T_{3,2}$- and $S_{3,2}$-containing subgraphs) and identify the striped fish as the unique $\rho=6$ maximum-edge-degree-5 example. The culmination is a complete list of eight connected non-bipartite $Q$-integral graphs with $\rho(Q)\le 6$, presented as eight explicit graphs, with the methodology enabling potential extension to higher radii via the provided pseudocode in the appendix.
Abstract
In this paper, we completely classify the connected non-bipartite graphs with integral signless Laplacian eigenvalues at most 6.
