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 $HM_2(G)$,…

The variation of the Randi\'c index $ R'(G) $ of a graph $G$ is defined by\ $R(G) = \sum_{uv \in E(G)}\frac 1{\max \{d(u) d(v)\}}$, where $d(u)$ is the degree of vertex $u$ and the summation extends over all edges $uv$ of $G$. Let $G(k,n)$…

A star edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring with no $2$-colored path or cycle of length four. The star chromatic index $\chi'_{st}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum number $t$ for which $G$ has a star edge coloring with $t$ colors. We…

Let $G$ be a non-bipartite graph which does not contain any odd cycle of length at most $2k+1$. In this paper, we determine the maximum $Q$-index of $G$ if its order is fixed, and the corresponding extremal graph is uniquely characterized.…

Albertson has defined the irregularity of a simple undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ as $ \irr(G) = \sum_{uv\in E}|d_G(u)-d_G(v)|,$ where $d_G(u)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $u \in V$. Recently, this graph invariant gained interest in the…

Recently, the problem of establishing bounds on the edge density of 1-planar graphs, including their subclass IC-planar graphs, has received considerable attention. In 2018, Angelini et al. showed that any n-vertex bipartite IC-planar graph…

To compute the hyperbolicity constant is an almost intractable problem, thus it is natural to try to bound it in terms of some parameters of the graph. Let $\mathcal{G}(g,c,n)$ be the set of graphs $G$ with girth $g(G)=g$, circumference…

A well-known result due to Chvat\'al and Erd\H{o}s (1972) asserts that, if a graph $G$ satisfies $\kappa(G) \ge \alpha(G)$, where $\kappa(G)$ is the vertex-connectivity of $G$, then $G$ has a Hamilton cycle. We prove a similar result…
