In this paper we study lower bounds in a unified way for large family of topological indices, including the first variable Zagreb index M 1 ? . Our aim is to obtain sharp inequalities and characterize corresponding extremal graphs. The main results provide several vertex-degree-based indices. These are new even Zagreb, inverse forgotten

Let G be a simple connected graph. The first and second Zagreb indices have been introduced as  vV(G) (v)2 M1(G) degG and M2(G)  uvE(G)degG(u)degG(v) , respectively, where degG v(degG u) is the degree of vertex v (u) . In this paper, we define a new distance-based named HyperZagreb as e uv E(G) . (v))2 HM(G)     (degG(u)  degG In this paper, the HyperZagreb index of the Cartesian p...

Topological indices are numerical parameters of a graph which characterize its topology. In this paper the PI, Szeged and Zagreb group indices of the tetrameric 1,3–adamantane are computed.

Recently, the first and second Zagreb indices are generalized into the variable Zagreb indices which are defined by M1(G) = ∑ u∈V (d(u))2λ and M2(G) = ∑ uv∈E (d(u)d(v)), where λ is any real number. In this paper, we prove that M1(G)/n M2(G)/m for all unicyclic graphs and all λ ∈ (−∞, 0]. And we also show that the relationship of numerical value between M1(G)/n and M2(G)/m is indefinite in the d...

We derive sharp lower bounds for the first and the second Zagreb indices (M1 and M2 respectively) for trees and chemical trees with the given number of pendent vertices and find optimal trees. M1 is minimized by a tree with all internal vertices having degree 4, while M2 is minimized by a tree where each “stem” vertex is incident to 3 or 4 pendent vertices and one internal vertex, while the res...

The first reformulated Zagreb index $EM_1(G)$ of a simple graph $G$ is defined as the sum of the terms $(d_u+d_v-2)^2$ over all edges $uv$ of $G .$ In this paper, the various upper and lower bounds for the first reformulated Zagreb index of a connected graph interms of other topological indices are obtained.
