    Let \(G\) be a simple graph and \(\mathcal L\) be its normalized Laplacian.NEWLINENEWLINELet \(\lambda_{n-1}\) be the second smallest eigenvalue of \(\mathcal L\). It is given a characterization of the graphs with \(\lambda_{n-1} = 1\). It is also presented a lower bound on \(\lambda_{n-1}\), which is much better than Chang's and Grossman's bounds in some sense.
