F-index of a graph is the sum of the cube of the degrees of the vertices. In this paper, we investigate the F-indices of unicyclic graphs by introducing some transformation, and characterize the unicyclic graphs with the first five largest…

The power graph denoted by $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{G})$ of a finite group $\mathcal{G}$ is a graph with vertex set $\mathcal{G}$ and there is an edge between two distinct elements $u, v \in \mathcal{G}$ if and only if $u^m = v$ or $v^m = u$…

In the study of topological indices two negative correlations are well known: that between the number of subtrees and the Wiener index (sum of distances), and that between the Merrifield-Simmons index (number of independent vertex subsets)…

A set S is independent in a graph G if no two vertices from S are adjacent. By core(G) we mean the intersection of all maximum independent sets. The independence number alpha(G) is the cardinality of a maximum independent set, while mu(G)…

Let $G$ be a graph with edge set $E(G)$. Denote by $d_w$ the degree of a vertex $w$ of $G$. The sigma index of $G$ is defined as $\sum_{uv\in E(G)}(d_u-d_v)^2$. A connected graph of order $n$ and size $n+k-1$ is known as a connected…

The general Sombor index of $G$ is defined as $SO_{\alpha}(G)= \sum_{uv\in G}\left(d^2_{G}(u)+d^2_{G}(v)\right)^{\alpha}$. For $0<\alpha<1$, we have the upper bound of $SO_{\alpha}(G)$ on unicyclic graphs with a fixed diameter, and the…

Let $G$ be a molecular graph. The total-eccentricity index of graph $G$ is defined as the sum of eccentricities of all vertices of $G$. %In [R. Farooq, M.A. Malik, J. Rada, Extremal graphs with respect to total-eccentricity index, 2017,…

Given a graph $G,$ a subset of vertices is called a maximum dissociation set of $G$ if it induces a subgraph with vertex degree at most 1, and the subset has maximum cardinality. The cardinality of a maximum dissociation set is called the…

In this article, we determine the maximum Wiener indices of unicyclic graphs with given number of vertices and matching number. We also characterize the extremal graphs. This solves an open problem of Du and Zhou.

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…

The energy $En(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. The Hosoya index $Z(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the number of independent edge subsets of $G$, including the empty set. For any given degree…

For a $hypergraph$ $\mathcal{G}=(V, E)$ consisting of a nonempty vertex set $V=V(\mathcal{G})$ and an edge set $E=E(\mathcal{G})$, its $adjacency$ $matrix$ $\mathcal {A}_{\mathcal{G}}=[(\mathcal {A}_{\mathcal{G}})_{ij}]$ is defined as…

The Hosoya polynomial of a graph encompasses many of its metric properties, for instance the Wiener index (alias average distance) and the hyper-Wiener index. An expression is obtained that reduces the computation of the Hosoya polynomials…

For a graph $G,$ we denote the number of connected subgraphs of $G$ by $F(G)$. For a tree $T$, $F(T)$ has been studied extensively and it has been observed that $F(T)$ has a reverse correlation with Wiener index of $T$. Based on that, we…

The dissociation number ${\rm diss}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum order of a set of vertices of $G$ inducing a subgraph that is of maximum degree at most $1$. Computing the dissociation number of a given graph is algorithmically hard…

In 2021, the Sombor index was introduced by Gutman, which is a new degree-based topological molecular descriptors. The Sombor index of a graph $G$ is defined as $SO(G) =\sum_{uv\in E(G)}\sqrt{d^2_G(u)+d^2_G(v)}$, where $d_G(v)$ is the…

Let $G$ be a connected graph having more than two vertices and let $d_i$ denote the degree of vertex $v_i$ in $G$. Let $E(G)$ represent the edge set of $G$. Then, the augmented Sombor (ASO) index of $G$ is defined as $ASO(G) = \sum_{v_i v_j…
