Irregularity of Graphs respecting Degree Bounds

Combinatorics 2023-03-23 v1

Abstract

Albertson defined the irregularity of a graph GG as irr(G)=uvE(G)dG(u)dG(v)irr(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}|d_G(u)-d_G(v)|. For a graph GG with nn vertices, mm edges, maximum degree Δ\Delta, and d=ΔmΔnmd=\left\lfloor \frac{\Delta m}{\Delta n-m}\right\rfloor, we show irr(G)d(d+1)n+1Δ(Δ2(2d+1)Δd2d)m.irr(G)\leq d(d+1)n+\frac{1}{\Delta}\left(\Delta^2-(2d+1)\Delta-d^2-d\right)m.
