چکیده

Chemical graphs, as other ones, are regular if all their vertices have the same degree. Otherwise, they are irregular, and it is of interest to measure their irregularity both for descriptive purposes and for QSAR/QSPR studies. Three indices have been proposed in the literature for that purpose: those of Collatz-Sinogowitz, of Albertson, and of Bell's variance of degrees. We study their properties for the case of chemical trees. Structural conjectures are generated with the system AutoGraphiX, and most of them proved later by mathematical means. Analytical expressions for extremal values are obtained, and extremal graphs are characterized for the two last indices.

On the extremal total irregularity index of n-vertex trees with fixed maximum degree

In the extension of irregularity indices, Abdo et. al. [1] defined the total irregu-larity of a graph G = (V, E) as irrt(G) = 21 Pu,v∈V (G) du − dv, where du denotesthe vertex degree of a vertex u ∈ V (G). In this paper, we investigate the totalirregularity of trees with bounded maximal degree Δ and state integer linear pro-gramming problem which gives standard information about extremal trees a...

Variable neighborhood search for extremal graphs. 16. Some conjectures related to the largest eigenvalue of a graph

We consider four conjectures related to the largest eigenvalue of (the adjacency matrix of) a graph (i.e., to the index of the graph). Three of them have been formulated after some experiments with the programming system AutoGraphiX (AGX), designed for finding extremal graphs with respect to given properties by the use of variable neighborhood search. The conjectures are related to the maximal ...

Bond Additive Modeling 5. Mathematical Properties of the Variable Sum Exdeg Index

Recently, discrete and variable Adriatic indices have been introduced and it has been shown that the sum α -exdeg index is good predictor (when variable parameter is equal to 0.37 ) of the octanol-water partition coefficient for octane isomers. Here, we study mathematical properties of this descriptor. Namely, we analyze extremal graphs of this descriptor in the following classes: the class of ...

On a Relation Between Randić Index and Algebraic Connectivity

A conjecture of AutoGraphiX on the relation between the Randić index R and the algebraic connectivity a of a connected graph G is: R a ≤ ( n− 3 + 2√2 2 ) / ( 2(1− cos π n ) ) with equality if and only if G is Pn, which was proposed by Aouchiche et al. [M. Aouchiche, P. Hansen and M. Zheng, Variable neighborhood search for extremal graphs 19: further conjectures and results about the Randić inde...

Leap Zagreb indices of trees and unicyclic graphs

By d(v|G) and d_2(v|G) are denoted the number of first and second neighborsof the vertex v of the graph G. The first, second, and third leap Zagreb indicesof G are defined asLM_1(G) = sum_{v in V(G)} d_2(v|G)^2, LM_2(G) = sum_{uv in E(G)} d_2(u|G) d_2(v|G),and LM_3(G) = sum_{v in V(G)} d(v|G) d_2(v|G), respectively. In this paper, we generalizethe results of Naji et al. [Commun. Combin. Optim. ...
