Sharp upper bounds for multiplicative Zagreb indices of bipartite graphs with given diameter

Combinatorics 2017-04-28 v2

Abstract

The first multiplicative Zagreb index of a graph GG is the product of the square of every vertex degree, while the second multiplicative Zagreb index is the product of the degree of each edge over all edges. In our work, we explore the multiplicative Zagreb indices of bipartite graphs of order nn with diameter dd, and sharp upper bounds are obtained for these indices of graphs in B(n,d)\mathcal{B}(n,d), where B(n,d)\mathcal{B}(n, d) is the set of all nn-vertex bipartite graphs with the diameter dd. In addition, we explore the relationship between the maximal multiplicative Zagreb indices of graphs \textcolor{blue}{within} B(n,d)\mathcal{B}(n, d). As consequences, those bipartite graphs with the largest, second-largest and smallest multiplicative Zagreb indices are characterized, and our results extend and enrich some known conclusions.
