Let G be a simple undirected graph. Then the signless Laplacian matrix of G is defined as DG+AG in which DG and AG denote the degree matrix and the adjacency matrix of G, respectively. The graph G is said to be determined by its signless Laplacian spectrum (DQS, for short), if any graph having the same signless Laplacian spectrum as G is isomorphic to G. We show that G⊔rK2 is determined by its signless Laplacian spectra under certain conditions, where r and K2 denote a natural number and the complete graph on two vertices, respectively. Applying these results, some DQS graphs with independent edges are obtained.
