New Lower Bounds for the First Variable Zagreb Index

Combinatorics 2018-06-07 v1

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to obtain new sharp inequalities for a large family of topological indices, including the first variable Zagreb index M1αM_1^\alpha, and to characterize the set of extremal graphs with respect to them. Our main results provide lower bounds on this family of topological indices involving just the minimum and the maximum degree of the graph. These inequalities are new even for the first Zagreb, the inverse and the forgotten indices.
