As highly discriminant distance-based topological indices, the Balaban index and the sum-Balaban index of a graph $G$ are defined as $J(G)=frac{m}{mu+1}sumlimits_{uvin E} frac{1}{sqrt{D_{G}(u)D_{G}(v)}}$ and $SJ(G)=frac{m}{mu+1}sumlimits_{uvin E} frac{1}{sqrt{D_{G}(u)+D_{G}(v)}}$, respectively, where $D_{G}(u)=sumlimits_{vin V}d(u,v)$ is the distance sum of vertex $u$ in $G$, $m$ is the n...

The application of graphs in chemical and molecular structures has exponentially increased during the last few years. Topological indices facilitate collection beneficial information provide an approach to understanding properties structure by providing about algebraic graphs. Let G be a graph with u -vertices id="M2"> <...

A connected graph G is said to be a cactus if any two cycles have at most one vertex in common. The multiplicative sum Zagreb index of the product degrees adjacent vertices G. In this paper, we introduce several transformations that are useful tools for study extremal properties index. Using these and symmetric structural representations some graphs, determine graphs having maximal with prescri...

In this paper, we present some new lower and upper bounds for the modified Randic index in terms of maximum, minimum degree, girth, algebraic connectivity, diameter and average distance. Also we obtained relations between this index with Harmonic and Atom-bond connectivity indices. Finally, as an application we computed this index for some classes of nano-structures and linear chains.

The Randić index R(G) of a graph G is the sum of weights (deg(u) deg(v))−0.5 over all edges uv of G, where deg(v) denotes the degree of a vertex v. Let r(G) be the radius of G. We prove that for any connected graph G of maximum degree four which is not a path with even number of vertices, R(G) ≥ r(G). As a consequence, we resolve the conjecture R(G) ≥ r(G)− 1 given by Fajtlowicz in 1988 for the...
