In this paper, we investigate the structural properties of trees and bipartite graphs through the lens of topological indices and combinatorial graph theory. We focus on the First and Second Hyper-Zagreb indices, $HM_1(G)$ and $HM_2(G)$,…
Let $Sz(G),Sz^*(G)$ and $W(G)$ be the Szeged index, revised Szeged index and Wiener index of a graph $G.$ In this paper, the graphs with the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh largest Wiener indices among all unicyclic graphs of order…
Vertex-degree-based topological indices have recently gained a lot of attention from mathematical chemists. One such index that we focus on in this paper is called Sombor index. After its definition in late 2020, the Sombor index was…
We introduce a cluster evaluation technique called Tree Index. Our Tree Index algorithm aims at describing the structural information of the clustering rather than the quantitative format of cluster-quality indexes (where the representation…
The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index is a degree-based molecular descriptor that found diverse chemical applications. Characterizing trees with minimum ABC-index remained an elusive open problem even after serious attempts and is…
We consider the minimum spanning tree problem with predictions, using the weight-arrival model, i.e., the graph is given, together with predictions for the weights of all edges. Then the actual weights arrive one at a time and an…

We study the Sombor index of trees with various degree restrictions. In addition to rediscovering that among all trees with a given degree sequence, the greedy tree minimises the Sombor index and the alternating greedy tree maximises it, we…

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…
For a graph $G$, the Mostar index of $G$ is the sum of $|n_u(e)$ - $n_v(e)|$ over all edges $e=uv$ of $G$, where $n_u(e)$ denotes the number of vertices of $G$ that have a smaller distance in $G$ to $u$ than to $v$, and analogously for…
The edge-Szeged index of a graph $G$ is defined as $Sz_e(G) = \sum_{e=uv \in E(G)}m_u(e)m_v(e)$, where $m_u(e)$ denotes the number of edges of $G$ whose distance to $u$ is smaller than the distance to $v$ and $m_v(e)$ denotes the number of…
