We examine the quantity \[S(G) = \sum_{uv\in E(G)} \min(\text{deg } u, \text{deg } v)\] over sets of graphs with a fixed number of edges. The main result shows the maximum possible value of $S(G)$ is achieved by three different classes of…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a graph. The first Zagreb index of a graph $G$ is defined as $\sum_{u \in V} d^2(u)$, where $d(u)$ is the degree of vertex $u$ in $G$. Using the P\'{o}lya-Szeg\H{o} inequality, we in this paper present the first Zagreb…

Applications in chemistry motivated mathematicians to define different topological indices for different types of graphs. The Hyper-Zagreb index (HM) is an important tool as it integrates the first and the second Zagreb indices. In this…

We resolve two conjectures of Hri\v{n}\'{a}kov\'{a}, Knor and \v{S}krekovski (2019) concerning the relationship between the variable Wiener index and variable Szeged index for a connected, non-complete graph, one of which would imply the…

Let $\prod(G)$ be Multiplicative Zagreb index of a graph G. A connected graph is a cactus graph if and only if any two of its cycles have at most one vertex in common, which has been the interest of researchers in the filed of material…

Let $\mathbb{G} = (\mathcal{V}, \mathcal{E})$ be a simple connected graph, where $\mathcal{V}$ and $\mathcal{E}$ denote the vertex and edge sets, respectively. The first Zagreb index is defined as $\mathcal{M}_{1}(\mathbb{G}) = \sum_{v \in…

In this paper, we focus on comparing the first and second Zagreb-Fermat eccentricity indices of graphs. We show that $$\frac{\sum_{uv\in E\left( G \right)}{\varepsilon_3\left( u \right) \varepsilon_3\left( v \right)}}{m\left( G \right)}…

Xu in 2011 determined the largest value of the second Zagreb index in an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with clique number $k$, and also the smallest value with the additional assumption that $G$ is connected. We extend these results to other…

Topological relations between three degree-based invariants of a connected graph G are investigated. We present novel inequalities including M1(G), M2(G) and F(G), and show that in all cases equality holds if G is a regular or a semiregular…

For a given connected graph $G$, the edge Mostar index $Mo_e(G)$ is defined as $Mo_e(G)=\sum_{e=uv \in E(G)}|m_u(e|G) - m_v(e|G)|$, where $m_u(e|G)$ and $m_v(e|G)$ are respectively, the number of edges of $G$ lying closer to vertex $u$ than…

The Zagreb index of a hypergraph is defined as the sum of the squares of the degrees of its vertices. A connected $k$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges is called bicyclic if $n=m(k-1)-1$. In this paper, we determine the…

In the paper [I. Gutman, N. Trinajsti\'c, Chem. Phys. Lett. 17 (1972), 535], it was shown that total $\pi$-electron energy ($E$) of a molecule $M$ depends on the quantity $\sum_{v\in V(G)}d_{v}^{2}$ (nowadays known as the "first Zagreb…
