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…
In this article we prove that the minimum-degree greedy algorithm, with adversarial tie-breaking, is a $(2/3)$-approximation for the Maximum Independent Set problem on interval graphs. We show that this is tight, even on unit interval…
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 zeroth-order general Randi\'c index of graph $G=(V_G,E_G)$, denoted by $^0R_{\alpha}(G)$, is the sum of items $(d_{v})^{\alpha}$ over all vertices $v\in V_G$, where $\alpha$ is a pertinently chosen real number. In this paper, we obtain…
In this paper, we study uniform rooted plane trees with given degree sequence. We show, under some natural hypotheses on the degree sequence, that these trees converge toward the so-called Inhomogeneous Continuum Random Tree after…
The Sombor index is one of the geometry-based descriptors, which was defined as $$SO(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)}\sqrt{d^{2}(u)+d^{2}(v)},$$ where $d(u)$ (resp. $d(v)$) denotes the degree of vertex $u$ (resp. $v$) in $G$. In this note, we determine…
In any attempt at designing an efficient algorithm for the minimum vertex cover problem, obtaining good upper and lower bounds for the vertex cover number could be crucial. In this article we present a modified greedy algorithm of…
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)…
For a labeled tree on the vertex set $\set{1,2,\ldots,n}$, the local direction of each edge $(i\,j)$ is from $i$ to $j$ if $i<j$. For a rooted tree, there is also a natural global direction of edges towards the root. The number of edges…
The minimum height of vertex and edge partition trees are well-studied graph parameters known as, for instance, vertex and edge ranking number. While they are NP-hard to determine in general, linear-time algorithms exist for trees.…
The concepts of domination and topological index hold great significance within the realm of graph theory. Therefore, it is pertinent to merge these concepts to derive the domination index of a graph. A novel concept of the domination index…
For a labelled tree on the vertex set $[n]:=\{1,2,..., n\}$, define the direction of each edge $ij$ to be $i\to j$ if $i<j$. The indegree sequence of $T$ can be considered as a partition $\lambda \vdash n-1$. The enumeration of trees with a…
The recently developed atom-bond sum-connection (ABS) index is a variation of the well-studied graph-based molecular descriptors connectivity (Randic), atom-bond connectivity, and sum-connectivity indices.We present the minimum ABS index of…
In this paper, we establishe the extremal bounds of the topological indices -- Sigma index -- focusing on analyzing the sharp upper bounds and the lower bounds of the Sigma index, which is known $\sigma(G)=\sum_{uv\in…
Inspired by the network routing literature \cite{aggarwal1996efficient}, we develop what we call a ``Pre-Emptive Greedy Algorithm" to embed bounded degree induced trees in sparse expanders. This generalises a powerful and central result of…
We consider lower bounds on the number of spanning trees of connected graphs with degree bounded by $d$. The question is of interest because such bounds may improve the analysis of the improvement produced by memorisation in the runtime of…
In a graph, we assign distinct integers to the vertices, and take the sum of two integers if they are on two adjacent vertices. The minimum possible number of different sums is the \emph{sum index} of this graph. In this paper, we present…
Recently, D. Vuki$\check{c}$evi$\acute{c}$ and J. Sedlar in \cite{Vuki} introduced an order "$\preceq$" on $\mathcal{T}_n$, the set of trees on $n$ vertices, such that the topological index $F$ of a graph is a function defined on the order…
A vertex of degree one is called an end-vertex, and an end-vertex of a tree is called a leaf. A tree with at most $k$ leaves is called a $k$-ended tree. For a positive integer $k$, let $t_k$ be the order of a largest $k$-ended tree. Let…
Trees without vertices of degree $2$ are sometimes named topological trees. In this work, we bring forward the study of the inducibility of (rooted) topological trees with a given number of leaves. The inducibility of a topological tree $S$…
