Is there any relationship between eigenvalues(or spectrum) of graph Laplacian matrix and the eigenvalues of the product of a real symmetric matrix and the Laplacian matrix?



My problem at hand is as follows :



Let A=L*B.



What is the relationship between spectrum (or eigenvalues) of L with the spectrum of A?



L is Laplacian of an undirected graph, hence real symmetric and singular.
B is a real symmetric matrix.



I want to show that if I increase the magnitude of eigenvalues of L, the eigenvalues of A will also increase. However, all I could find was a trace inequality relationship, and inequality doesn't necessarily lead to any conclusion.

    If you count geometric multiplicities, eigenvalues may disappear. Does that count as "increasing"? For example if $$ L_1 = begin{bmatrix}0&0\0&0end{bmatrix} qquad L_2 = begin{bmatrix}1&-1\-1&1end{bmatrix} qquad B=begin{bmatrix}-1 &0 \ 0 & 1end{bmatrix}$$ then going from $L_1$ to $L_2$ changes the eigenvalues from $0$ and $0$ to $0$ and $2$, certainly as good an increase as we can hope for given that the $L$s are always singular. But the eigenvalues of $L_1B$ are $0$ and $0$ whereas $L_2B$ only has a single $0$. Is that an increase?

    @HenningMakholm Thank you for the comment. Regarding your first question, I could not understand the difference between the two in "eigenvalues of L1B are 0 and 0 whereas L2B only has a single 0". And were you trying to give a counterexample for the statement? If B is an identity matrix, then L2B would have eigenvalues 0 and 2. I am looking for an analytical proof which says that by increasing eigenvalue of one matrix, the eigenvalue of the product is also increased. I am getting that trend in my case while using the values, but an analytical proof is what I am after.

    I am asking you whether this counts as a counterexample for you, since $L_1B$ has the eigenvalue $0$ with geometric multiplicity $2$ and $L_2B$ has the eigenvalue $0$ with geometric multiplicity $1$ and no other eigenvalues. One of the eigenvalues of $L_1B$ goes from being $0$ to not being there at all! Do you consider that to be an "increase" or not?
