For a connected graph, a vertex separator is a set of vertices whose removal creates at least two components. A vertex separator $S$ is minimal if it contains no other separator as a strict subset and a minimum vertex separator is a minimal…

Let $d_u$ be the degree of a vertex $u$ of a graph $G$. The atom-bond sum-connectivity (ABS) index of a graph $G$ is the sum of the numbers $(1-2(d_v+d_w)^{-1})^{1/2}$ over all edges $vw$ of $G$. This paper gives the characterization of the…

A graph is maximal $k$-degenerate if each induced subgraph has a vertex of degree at most $k$ and adding any new edge to the graph violates this condition. In this paper, we provide sharp lower and upper bounds on Wiener indices of maximal…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

The connective eccentricity index (CEI) of a graph $G$ is defined as $\xi^{ce}(G)=\sum_{v \in V(G)}\frac{d_G(v)}{\varepsilon_G(v)}$, where $d_G(v)$ is the degree of $v$ and $\varepsilon_G(v)$ is the eccentricity of $v$. In this paper, we…

The total eccentricity index of a connected graph is defined as sum of the eccentricities of all its vertices. We denote the set of all connected graphs on $n$ vertices with $k$ pendant vertices by $\mathfrak{H}_{n,k}$ and denote the set of…

A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi states that every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+ o(1))n$ contains every $n$-vertex tree with maximum degree $O(n/\log{n})$ as a subgraph, and the bounds on…

A branch vertex in a tree is a vertex of degree at least three. We prove that, for all $s\geq 1$, every connected graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $(\frac{1}{s+3}+o(1))n$ contains a spanning tree having at most $s$ branch…
