Let ∆(G), ∆ for short, be the maximum degree of a graph G. In this paper, trees (resp., unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs), which attain the first and the second largest spectral radius with respect to the adjacency matrix in the class of trees (resp., unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs) with n vertices and the maximum degree ∆, where ∆ ≥ n+1 2 (resp., ∆ ≥ n 2 +1 and ∆ ≥ n+3 2 ) are determ...

Let G be a simple connected graph and t be a given real number. The zero-order general Randić index αt(G) of G is defined as ∑ v∈V (G) d(v) t , where d(v) denotes the degree of v. In this paper, for any t , we characterize the graphs with the greatest and the smallest αt within two subclasses of connected unicyclic graphs on n vertices, namely, unicyclic graphs with k pendant vertices and unicy...

The Randić index R(G) of a graph G is the sum of the weights (d(u)d(v))− 1 2 of all edges uv of G, where d(u) denotes the degree of the vertex u. In this paper, we first present a sharp lower bound on the Randić index of conjugated unicyclic graphs (unicyclic graphs with perfect matching). Also a sharp lower bound on the Randić index of unicyclic graphs is given in terms of the order and given ...

Recently, the first and second Zagreb indices are generalized into the variable Zagreb indices which are defined by M1(G) = ∑ u∈V (d(u))2λ and M2(G) = ∑ uv∈E (d(u)d(v)), where λ is any real number. In this paper, we prove that M1(G)/n M2(G)/m for all unicyclic graphs and all λ ∈ (−∞, 0]. And we also show that the relationship of numerical value between M1(G)/n and M2(G)/m is indefinite in the d...

In this paper, we investigate how the Wiener index of unicyclic graphs varies with graph operations. These results are used to present a sharp lower bound for the Wiener index of unicyclic graphs of order n with girth and the matching number β ≥ 3g 2 . Moreover, we characterize all extremal graphs which attain the lower bound.

The harmonic index H(G) of a graph G is defined as the sum of 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 paper, we first present a sharp lower bound on the harmonic index of unicyclic conjugated graphs (unicyclic graphs with a perfect matching). Also a sharp lower bound on the harmonic index of unicyclic graphs is given in terms of the ...

The Hosoya index Z(G) of a graph G is defined as the total number of edge independent sets of G. In this paper, we extend the research of [J. Ou, On extremal unicyclic molecular graphs with maximal Hosoya index, Discrete Appl. Math. 157 (2009) 391–397.] and [Y. Ye, X. Pan, H. Liu, Ordering unicyclic graphs with respect to Hosoya indices and Merrifield-Simmons indices, MATCH Commun. Math. Comput...

the total irregularity of a graph g is defined as 〖irr〗_t (g)=1/2 ∑_(u,v∈v(g))▒〖|d_u-d_v |〗, where d_u denotes the degree of a vertex u∈v(g). in this paper by using the gini index, we obtain the ordering of the total irregularity index for some classes of connected graphs, with the same number of vertices.

The harmonic index is one of the most important indices in chemical and mathematical fields. It’s a variant of the Randić index which is the most successful molecular descriptor in structure-property and structureactivity relationships studies. The harmonic index gives somewhat better correlations with physical and chemical properties comparing with the well known Randić index. The harmonic ind...
