Let G be a connected graph of order n with diameter d. Remoteness ρ of G is the maximum average distance from a vertex to all others and ∂1≥⋯≥ ∂n are the distance eigenvalues of G. In \citeAH, Aouchiche and Hansen conjectured that ρ+∂3>0 when d≥ 3 and ρ+∂\lfloor(7d)/(8)\rfloor>0. In this paper, we confirm these two conjectures. Furthermore, we give lower bounds on ∂n+ρ and ∂1-ρ when G\ncong Kn and the extremal graphs are characterized.
