Abstract:

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 Caterpillars withf diameter 4.

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...

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...

Harmonic Functions with Polynomial Growth

Twenty years ago Yau generalized the classical Liouville theo rem of complex analysis to open manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curva ture Speci cally he proved that a positive harmonic function on such a manifold must be constant This theorem of Yau was considerably generalized by Cheng Yau see by means of a gradient estimate which implies the Harnack inequality As a consequence of this gradien...
