For a graph G = (V,E), the modified Schultz index of G is defined as S∗(G) = ∑ {u,v}⊂V (G) (dG(u) · dG(v))dG(u, v) where dG(u) (or d(u)) is the degree of the vertex u of G, and dG(u, v) is the distance between u and v. Lower bounds on modified Schultz index in trees in terms of the order and diameter are determined. Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C05, 05C12

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.

For a graph G = (V,E), the modified Schultz index of G is defined as S∗(G) = ∑ {u,v}⊆V (G) (dG(u) · dG(v))dG(u, v) where dG(u) (or d(u)) is the degree of the vertex u of G, and dG(u, v) is the distance between u and v. Let B(n) be the set of bicyclic graph with n vertices. In this paper, we study the modified Schultz index of B(n), graphs in B(n) with the smallest modified Schultz index S∗(G) a...

If a graph is connected then the largest eigenvalue (i.e., index) generally changes (decreases or increases) if some local modifications are performed. In this paper two types of modifications are considered: (i) for a fixed vertex, t edges incident with it are deleted, while s new edges incident with it are inserted; (ii) for two non-adjacent vertices, t edges incident with one vertex are dele...

Graph robustness or network is the ability that a graph preserves its connectivity other properties after loss of vertices and edges, which has been central problem in research complex networks. In this paper, we introduce Modified Zagreb index centrality as novel measures to study robustness. We theoretically find some relationships between these measures. Then, use analyze BA scale-free netwo...
