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…

We prove a conjecture of Nadjafi-Arani, Khodashenas and Ashrafi on the difference between the Szeged and Wiener index of a graph. Namely, if $G$ is a 2-connected non-complete graph on $n$ vertices, then $Sz(G)-W(G)\ge 2n-6$. Furthermore,…

The \emph{eccentricity} of a vertex $u$ in a graph $G$, denoted by $e_G(u)$, is the maximum distance from $u$ to other vertices in $G$. We study extremal problems for the average eccentricity and the first and second Zagreb eccentricity…

Do\v{s}li\'{c} et al. defined the Mostar index of a graph $G$ as $Mo(G)=\sum\limits_{uv\in E(G)}|n_G(u,v)-n_G(v,u)|$, where, for an edge $uv$ of $G$, the term $n_G(u,v)$ denotes the number of vertices of $G$ that have a smaller distance in…

In this paper we present a theoretical analysis in order to establish maximal and minimal vectors with respect to the majorization order of particular subsets of \Re ^n: Afterwards we apply these issues to the calcula- tion of bounds for a…

A vertex with neighbours of degrees $d_1 \geq ... \geq d_r$ has {\em vertex type} $(d_1, ..., d_r)$. A graph is {\em vertex-oblique} if each vertex has a distinct vertex-type. While no graph can have distinct degrees, Schreyer, Walther and…

We derive sharp lower bounds for the first and the second Zagreb indices ($M_1$ and $M_2$ respectively) for trees and chemical trees with the given number of pendent vertices and find optimal trees. $M_1$ is minimized by a tree with all…

In this paper we introduce a variation of the well-known Zagreb indices by considering a proper vertex colouring of a graph $G$. The chromatic Zagreb indices are defined in terms of the parameter $c(v), v \in V(G)$ instead of the invariant…

The first multiplicative Zagreb index $\Pi_1$ of a graph $G$ is the product of the square of every vertex degree, while the second multiplicative Zagreb index $\Pi_2$ is the product of the products of degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices.…

Let $\mathcal {T}^{\Delta}_n$ denote the set of trees of order $n$, in which the degree of each vertex is bounded by some integer $\Delta$. Suppose that every tree in $\mathcal {T}^{\Delta}_n$ is equally likely. We show that the number of…

For a connected graph $G$ on at least three vertices, the augmented Zagreb index (AZI) of $G$ is defined as $$AZI(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)}\left(\frac{d(u)d(v)}{d(u)+d(v)-2}\right)^{3},$$ being a topological index well-correlated with the…

The F-index of a graph is defined as the sum of cubes of the vertex degrees of the graph. This was introduced in 1972, in the same paper where the first and second Zagreb indices were introduced to study the structure-dependency of total…

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…

We determine the degree sequence of the generalized Sierpinski graph and its general first Zagreb index in terms of the same parameters of the base graph G.

An edge-coloured graph $G$ is called $properly$ $connected$ if every two vertices are connected by a proper path. The $proper$ $connection$ $number$ of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $pc(G)$, is the smallest number of colours that are…

In this paper, we study the limiting behavior of the generalized Zagreb indices of the classical Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi (ER) random graph $G(n,p)$, as $n\to\infty$. For any integer $k\ge1$, we first give an expression for the $k$-th order…

The mixed metric dimension ${\rm mdim}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set of vertices that (metrically) resolves each pair of elements from $V(G)\cup E(G)$. We say that $G$ is a max-mdim graph if ${\rm mdim}(G) = n(G)$.…

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…
