Abstract:
      Let ${\mathscr{S}}$ be a certain set of graphs. A graph is called a minimizing graph in the set ${\mathscr{S}}$ if its least eigenvalue attains the minimum among all graphs in ${\mathscr{S}}$. In this paper, we determine the unique minimizing graph in ${\mathscr {G}}_n$, where ${\mathscr {G}}_n$ denotes the set of connected graphs of order $n$ with cut vertices.
