The energy of a graph is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. The edge grafting operation on a graph is a kind of edge moving between two vertices of the graph. In this paper, we introduce two new edge grafting operations and show how the graph energy changes under these edge grafting operations. Let G(n) be the set of all unicyclic graphs with n vertices. ...

Abstract Many chemical indices have been invented in theoretical chemistry, such as Wiener index, Merrifield-Simmons index, Hosoya index, spectral radius and Randić index, etc. The extremal trees and unicyclic graphs for these chemical indices are interested in existing literature. Let G be a molecular graph (called a cacti), which all of blocks of G are either edges or cycles. Denote G (n, r) ...
