چکیده

The harmonic index of a graph G is defined as the sum of the weights 2 d(u) + d(v) of all edges uv of G, where d(u) denotes the degree of a vertex u in G. In this work, we present the minimum and maximum values of the harmonic index for connected graphs with girth at least k (k ≥ 3), and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs. Using this result, we obtain several relations between the harmonic index and the girth of a graph.

On the harmonic index of bicyclic graphs

The harmonic index of a graph $G$, denoted by $H(G)$, is defined asthe sum of weights $2/[d(u)+d(v)]$ over all edges $uv$ of $G$, where$d(u)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $u$. Hu and Zhou [Y. Hu and X. Zhou, WSEAS Trans. Math. {bf 12} (2013) 716--726] proved that for any bicyclic graph $G$ of order $ngeq 4$, $H(G)le frac{n}{2}-frac{1}{15}$ and characterize all extremal bicyclic graphs.In this...

Chromatic Harmonic Indices and Chromatic Harmonic Polynomials of Certain Graphs

In the main this paper introduces the concept of chromatic harmonic polynomials denoted, $H^chi(G,x)$ and chromatic harmonic indices denoted, $H^chi(G)$ of a graph $G$. The new concept is then applied to finding explicit formula for the minimum (maximum) chromatic harmonic polynomials and the minimum (maximum) chromatic harmonic index of certain graphs. It is also applied to split graphs and ce...

On the harmonic index and harmonic polynomial of Caterpillars with diameter four

The harmonic index H(G) , of a graph G is defined as the sum of weights 2/(deg(u)+deg(v)) of all edges in E(G), where deg (u) denotes the degree of a vertex u in V(G). In this paper we define the harmonic polynomial of G. We present explicit formula for the values of harmonic polynomial for several families of specific graphs and we find the lower and upper bound for harmonic index in Caterpill...

On Tensor Product of Graphs, Girth and Triangles

The purpose of this paper is to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the tensor product of two or more graphs to be connected, bipartite or eulerian. Also, we present a characterization of the duplicate graph $G 1 K_2$ to be unicyclic. Finally, the girth and the formula for computing the number of triangles in the tensor product of graphs are worked out.

On Harmonic Index and Diameter of Unicyclic Graphs

The Harmonic index $ H(G) $ of a graph $ G $ is defined as the sum of the weights $ dfrac{2}{d(u)+d(v)} $ of all edges $ uv $ of $G$, where $d(u)$ denotes the degree of the vertex $u$ in $G$. In this work, we prove the conjecture $dfrac{H(G)}{D(G)} geq dfrac{1}{2}+dfrac{1}{3(n-1)}  $ given by Jianxi Liu in 2013 when G is a unicyclic graph and give a better bound $ dfrac{H(G)}{D(G)}geq dfra...
