Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connectedgraph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and sequence of vertex degrees$d_1 ge d_2 ge cdots ge d_n>0$, $d_i=d(v_i)$, where $v_iin V$. With $isim j$ we denote adjacency ofvertices $v_i$ and $v_j$. The generalsum--connectivity index of graph is defined as $chi_{alpha}(G)=sum_{isim j}(d_i+d_j)^{alpha}$, where $alpha$ is an arbitrary real<b...

The adjacent eccentric distance sum index of a graph G is defined as ξsv(G) = ∑ v∈V (G) ε(v)D(v) deg(v) , where ε(v), deg(v) denote the eccentricity, the degree of the vertex v, respectively, and D(v) = ∑ u∈V (G) d(u, v) is the sum of all distances from the vertex v. In this paper we derive some upper or lower bounds for the adjacent eccentric distance sum in terms of some graph invariants or t...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Eccentric stenosis of the coronary artery is associated with plaque disruption and acute coronary syndrome. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether eccentric stenosis of the carotid artery contributes to cerebrovascular events. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 6859 patients with vascular diseases who underwent duplex carotid ultrasonography, we studied 512 int...

Here we study the normalized Laplacian characteristics polynomial (L-polynomial) for trees and specifically for starlike trees. We describe how the L-polynomial of a tree depends on some topological indices. For which, we also define the higher order general Randić indices for matching and which are different from higher order connectivity indices. Finally we provide the multiplicity of the eig...

The generalized atom-bond connectivity index of a graph G is denoted by ABCa(G) and defined as the sum of weights ((d(u)+d(v)-2)/d(u)d(v))aa$ over all edges uv∊G. A cactus is a graph in which any two cycles have at most one common vertex. In this paper, we compute sharp bounds for  ABCa index for cacti of order $n$ ...

In this paper, we show that in the class of connected graphs G of order n ≥ 3 having girth at least equal to k, 3 ≤ k ≤ n, the unique graph G having minimum general sum-connectivity index χα(G) consists of Ck and n−k pendant vertices adjacent to a unique vertex of Ck, if−1 ≤ α < 0. This property does not hold for zeroth-order general Randić index Rα(G).

Subjecting a muscle to a series of eccentric contractions in which the contracting muscle is lengthened results in a number of changes in its mechanical properties. These include a fall in isometric tension that is particularly pronounced during low-frequency stimulation, a phenomenon known as low-frequency depression (LFD). Reports of LFD have not taken into account the shift in optimum length...
