The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index, introduced by Estrada et al. in 1998, displays an excellent correlation with the formation heat of alkanes. We give upper bounds for this graph invariant using the number of vertices, the number of edges, the Randić connectivity indices, and the first Zagreb index. We determine the unique tree with the maximum ABC index among trees with given numbers of v...

A connected graph G is said to be a cactus if any two cycles have at most one vertex in common. The multiplicative sum Zagreb index of the product degrees adjacent vertices G. In this paper, we introduce several transformations that are useful tools for study extremal properties index. Using these and symmetric structural representations some graphs, determine graphs having maximal with prescri...

In mathematical chemistry, a particular attention is given to degree-based graph invariant. The Zagrebpolynomial is one of the degree based polynomials considered in chemical graph theory. A dendrimer isan artificially manufactured or synthesized molecule built up from branched units called monomers. Inthis note, the first, second and third Zagreb poly...

We give sharp upper bounds on the Zagreb indices and lower bounds on the Zagreb coindices of chemical trees and characterize the case of equality for each of these topological invariants.

Let k ≥ 2 be an integer, a k-decomposition (G1,G2, . . . ,Gk) of the complete graph Kn is a partition of its edge set to form k spanning subgraphs G1,G2, . . . ,Gk. In this contribution, we investigate the Nordhaus–Gaddum-type inequality of a k-decomposition of Kn for the general Zagreb index and a 2-decomposition for the Zagreb co-indices, respectively. The corresponding extremal graphs are ch...
