Minimizing Degree-based Topological Indices for Trees with Given Number of Pendent Vertices∗
نویسنده
چکیده
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 rest internal vertices are incident to 3 other internal vertices. The technique is shown to generalize to the weighted first Zagreb index, the zeroth order general Randić index, as long as to many other degree-based indices.

Some Results on Forgotten Topological Coindex
The forgotten topological coindex (also called Lanzhou index) is defined for a simple connected graph G as the sum of the terms du2+dv2 over all non-adjacent vertex pairs uv of G, where du denotes the degree of the vertex u in G. In this paper, we present some inequalit...
متن کاملOn the spectra of reduced distance matrix of the generalized Bethe trees
Let G be a simple connected graph and {v_1,v_2,..., v_k} be the set of pendent (vertices of degree one) vertices of G. The reduced distance matrix of G is a square matrix whose (i,j)-entry is the topological distance between v_i and v_j of G. In this paper, we compute the spectrum of the reduced distance matrix of the generalized Bethe trees.
متن کاملOn the M-polynomial of planar chemical graphs
Let $G$ be a graph and let $m_{i,j}(G)$, $i,jge 1$, be the number of edges $uv$ of $G$ such that ${d_v(G), d_u(G)} = {i,j}$. The $M$-polynomial of $G$ is $M(G;x,y) = sum_{ile j} m_{i,j}(G)x^iy^j$. With $M(G;x,y)$ in hands, numerous degree-based topological indices of $G$ can be routinely computed. In this note a formula for the $M$-polynomial of planar (chemical) graphs which have only vertices...
متن کاملBounds for the Co-PI index of a graph
In this paper, we present some inequalities for the Co-PI index involving the some topological indices, the number of vertices and edges, and the maximum degree. After that, we give a result for trees. In addition, we give some inequalities for the largest eigenvalue of the Co-PI matrix of G.
متن کاملCalculating Different Topological Indices of Von Neumann Regular Graph of Z_(p^α )
By the Von Neumann regular graph of R, we mean the graph that its vertices are all elements of R such that there is an edge between vertices x,y if and only if x+y is a von Neumann regular element of R, denoted by G_Vnr (R). For a commutative ring R with unity, x in R is called Von Neumann regular if there exists x in R such that a=a2 x. We denote the set of Von Neumann regular elements by V nr...
