What do you call this class of matrices with a unique positive eigenvalue associated to a graph?

I am looking for the name of a class of symmetric matrices $M\in\Bbb R^{n\times n}$ that I can associate to a (finite simple) graph $G=(V,E)$ with $V=\{1,...,n\}$ and that have the following ...

Eigenvalues of directed Laplacian matrix $L$ and $DL$, where $D$ is a diagonal matrix with positive entries

I have a weighted Laplacian matrix $L$ of a strongly connected directed graph and a diagonal matrix $D$ with positive entries. Since the graph is directed, $L$ is non-symmetric real. Further, since ...
