For a simple graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the first Zagreb index and the second Zagreb index are defined as $M_1(G)=\sum_{v\in V}d(v)^2 $ and $M_2(G)=\sum_{uv\in E}d(u)d(v)$. In \cite{VGFAD}, it was shown that if a connected…

Let $G$ be a graph with order $n(G)$, size $m(G)$, first Zagreb index $M_1(G)$, and second Zagreb index $M_2(G)$. More than twenty years ago, it was conjectured that $\frac{M_1(G)}{n(G)} \leq \frac{M_2(G)}{m(G)}$. Later, Hansen and…

The second Zagreb index is $M_2(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)}d_{G}(u)d_{G}(v)$. It was found to occur in certain approximate expressions of the total $\pi$-electron energy of alternant hydrocarbons and used by various researchers in their QSPR and…
