For a graph $G$, the general reduced second Zagreb index is defined as $$GRM_\lambda (G) = \sum_{uv \in E} (deg(u) + \lambda) (deg(v) + \lambda),$$ where $\lambda$ is an arbitrary real number and $deg (v)$ is the degree of the vertex $v$.…

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…
