The index of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. Among the trees with a fixed order and diameter, a graph with the maximal index is a caterpillar. In the set of caterpillars with a fixed order and diameter, or with a fixed degree sequence, we identify those whose index is maximal. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..

Abstract
The index of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. Among the trees with a fixed order and diameter, a graph with the maximal index is a caterpillar. In the set of caterpillars with a fixed order and diameter, or with a fixed degree sequence, we identify those whose index is maximal. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.
