the stability of a communication network composed of processing nodes and communication links is of prime importance to network designers. as the network begins losing links or nodes, eventually there is a loss in its effectiveness. thus, communication networks must be constructed to be as stable as possible, not only with respect to the initial disruption, but also with respect to the possible...

Let C be the claw K 1;3 and N the net, i.e. the only connected graph with degree sequence 333111. It is known Bedrossian 1991; Faudree and Gould 1997] that if X; Y is a pair of connected graphs such that, for any 2-connected graph G, G being X Y-free implies G is hamiltonian, then X is the claw C and Y belongs to a nite list of graphs, one of them being the net N. For any such pair X; Y we show...

The general sum-connectivity index of a graph $G$ is defined as $chi_{alpha}(G)= sum_{uvin E(G)} (d_u + d_{v})^{alpha}$ where $d_{u}$ is degree of the vertex $uin V(G)$, $alpha$ is a real number different from $0$ and $uv$ is the edge connecting the vertices $u,v$. In this note, the problem of characterizing the graphs having extremum $chi_{alpha}$ values from a certain collection of polyomino ...

eccentric connectivity index has been found to have a low degeneracy and hence a significantpotential of predicting biological activity of certain classes of chemical compounds. wepresent here explicit formulas for eccentric connectivity index of various families of graphs.we also show that the eccentric connectivity index grows at most polynomially with thenumber of vertices and determine the ...

Let $G$ be a connected graph with minimum degree $delta$ and edge-connectivity $lambda$. A graph ismaximally edge-connected if $lambda=delta$, and it is super-edge-connected if every minimum edge-cut istrivial; that is, if every minimum edge-cut consists of edges incident with a vertex of minimum degree.In this paper, we show that a connected graph or a connected triangle-free graph is maximall...

Inspired by the chemical applications of higher-order connectivity index (or Randic index), we consider here the higher-order first Zagreb index of a molecular graph. In this paper, we study the linear regression analysis of the second order first Zagreb index with the entropy and acentric factor of an octane isomers. The linear model, based on the second order first Zag...

The eccentricity connectivity index of a molecular graph G is defined as (G) = aV(G) deg(a)ε(a), where ε(a) is defined as the length of a maximal path connecting a to other vertices of G and deg(a) is degree of vertex a. Here, we compute this topological index for some infinite classes of dendrimer graphs.

in this paper, a new molecular-structure descriptor, the general sum–connectivity co–index  is considered, which generalizes the first zagreb co–index and the general sum–connectivity index of graph theory. we mainly explore the lower and upper bounds in termsof the order and size for this new invariant. additionally, the nordhaus–gaddum–type resultis also represented.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and M an R-module. The Scalar-Product Graph of M is defined as the graph GR(M) with the vertex set M and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if there exist r or s belong to R such that x = ry or y = sx. In this paper , we discuss connectivity and planarity of these graphs and computing diameter and girth of GR(M). Also we show some of...
