We investigate the Zagreb index, one of the topological indices, of random recursive trees in this paper. Through a recurrence equation, the first two moments of Zn, the Zagreb index of a random recursive tree of size n, are obtained. We also show that the random process {Zn − E[Zn], n ≥ 1} is a martingale. Then the asymptotic normality of the Zagreb index of a random recursive tree is given by...

Abstract Analogues to multiplicative Zagreb indices in this paper two new type of eccentricity related topological index are introduced called the first and second multiplicative Zagreb eccentricity indices and is defined as product of squares of the eccentricities of the vertices and product of product of the eccentricities of the adjacent vertices. In this paper we give some upper and lower b...

The generalized hierarchical product of graphs was introduced by L. Barriére et al in 2009. In this paper, reformulated first Zagreb index of generalized hierarchical product of two connected graphs and hence as a special case cluster product of graphs are obtained. Finally using the derived results the reformulated first Zagreb index of some chemically important graphs such as square comb latt...

The Zagreb indices are among the oldest and the most famous topological molecular structure-descriptors. The first Zagreb index is equal to the sum of the squares of the degrees of the vertices, and the second Zagreb index is equal to the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices of the respective graph. In this paper, we characterize the extremal graphs with maximal, sec...

The reformulated Zagreb indices of a graph are obtained from the classical Zagreb indices by replacing vertex degrees with edge degrees, where the degree of an edge is taken as the sum of degrees of the end vertices of the edge minus 2. In this paper, we study the behavior of the reformulated first Zagreb index and apply our results to different chemically interesting molecular graphs and nano-...

The first Zagreb index M1 is equal to the sum of the squares of the degrees of the vertices, and the second Zagreb index M2 is equal to the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices of the respective graph. In this paper we present the lower bound on M1 and M2 among all unicyclic graphs of given order, maximum degree, and cycle length, and characterize graphs for which th...

‎Let G=(V,E) be a simple connected graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The first, second and third Zagreb indices of G are respectivly defined by: $M_1(G)=sum_{uin V} d(u)^2, hspace {.1 cm} M_2(G)=sum_{uvin E} d(u).d(v)$ and $ M_3(G)=sum_{uvin E}| d(u)-d(v)| $ , where d(u) is the degree of vertex u in G and uv is an edge of G connecting the vertices u and v. Recently, the first and second m...

For a (molecular) graph, the first Zagreb index M1 is equal to the sum of the squares of the degrees of the vertices, and the second Zagreb index M2 is equal to the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices. It is well known that for connected or disconnected graphs with n vertices and m edges, the inequality M2/m ≥ M1/n does not always hold. Here we show that this relati...
