On the general sum-connectivity index of trees with given number of pendent vertices

On the sum-connectivity index of unicyclic graphs with k pendent vertices

The sum-connectivity index R′(G) of a graph G is the sum of the weights (du +dv) − 2 of all edges uv of G, where du and dv are the degrees of the vertices u and v in G. This index was recently introduced in [B. Zhou, N. Trinajstić, On a novel connectivity index, J. Math. Chem. 46(2009), 1252–1270]. In this paper, we give the sharp lower bound of the sum-connectivity index of n-vertex unicyclic ...

On General Sum-Connectivity Index of Benzenoid Systems and Phenylenes

Some new bounds on the general sum--connectivity index

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connectedgraph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and sequence of vertex degrees$d_1 ge d_2 ge cdots ge d_n>0$, $d_i=d(v_i)$, where $v_iin V$. With $isim j$ we denote adjacency ofvertices $v_i$ and $v_j$. The generalsum--connectivity index of graph is defined as $chi_{alpha}(G)=sum_{isim j}(d_i+d_j)^{alpha}$, where $alpha$ is an arbitrary real<b...

Minimizing Degree-based Topological Indices for Trees with Given Number of Pendent Vertices∗

We derive sharp lower bounds for the first and the second Zagreb indices (M1 and M2 respectively) for trees and chemical trees with the given number of pendent vertices and find optimal trees. M1 is minimized by a tree with all internal vertices having degree 4, while M2 is minimized by a tree where each “stem” vertex is incident to 3 or 4 pendent vertices and one internal vertex, while the res...

on the general sum–connectivity co–index of graphs

in this paper, a new molecular-structure descriptor, the general sum–connectivity co–index  is considered, which generalizes the first zagreb co–index and the general sum–connectivity index of graph theory. we mainly explore the lower and upper bounds in termsof the order and size for this new invariant. additionally, the nordhaus–gaddum–type resultis also represented.
