A caterpillar unicyclic graph is a unicyclic graph in which the removal of all pendant vertices makes it a cycle. In this paper, the unique caterpillar unicyclic graph with minimum algebraic connectivity among all caterpillar unicyclic graphs is determined.

‎For a simple graph $G$‎, ‎the signless Laplacian Estrada index is defined as $SLEE(G)=sum^{n}_{i=1}e^{q^{}_i}$‎, ‎where $q^{}_1‎, ‎q^{}_2‎, ‎dots‎, ‎q^{}_n$ are the eigenvalues of the signless Laplacian matrix of $G$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we first characterize the unicyclic graphs with the first two largest and smallest $SLEE$'s and then determine the unique unicyclic graph with maximum $SLEE$ a...

A unicyclic graph is a graph whose number of edges is equal to the number of vertices. Guo Shu-Guang [S.G. Guo, The largest Laplacian spectral radius of unicyclic graph, Appl. Math. J. Chinese Univ. Ser. A. 16 (2) (2001) 131–135] determined the first four largest Laplacian spectral radii together with the corresponding graphs among all unicyclic graphs on n vertices. In this paper, we extend th...

‎in this paper we introduce the concept of order difference interval graph $gamma_{odi}(g)$ of a group $g$‎. ‎it is a graph $gamma_{odi}(g)$ with $v(gamma_{odi}(g)) = g$ and two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent in $gamma_{odi}(g)$ if and only if $o(b)-o(a) in [o(a)‎, ‎o(b)]$‎. ‎without loss of generality‎, ‎we assume that $o(a) leq o(b)$‎. ‎in this paper we obtain several properties of $gamma_...

Let ∆(G), ∆ for short, be the maximum degree of a graph G. In this paper, trees (resp., unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs), which attain the first and the second largest spectral radius with respect to the adjacency matrix in the class of trees (resp., unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs) with n vertices and the maximum degree ∆, where ∆ ≥ n+1 2 (resp., ∆ ≥ n 2 +1 and ∆ ≥ n+3 2 ) are determ...

F-index of a graph is the sum of the cube of the degrees of the vertices. In this paper, we investigate the F-indices of unicyclic graphs by introducing some transformation, and characterize the unicyclic graphs with the first five largest F-indices and the unicyclic graphs with the first two smallest F-indices, respectively.

The distance spectral radius ρ(G) of a graph G is the largest eigenvalue of the distance matrix D(G). Let U (n,m) be the class of unicyclic graphs of order n with given matching number m (m 6= 3). In this paper, we determine the extremal unicyclic graph which has minimal distance spectral radius in U (n,m) \ Cn.

In this paper, we determine upper and lower bounds for the number of independent sets in a unicyclic graph in terms of its order. This gives an upper bound for the number of independent sets in a connected graph which contains at least one cycle. We also determine the upper bound for the number of independent sets in a unicyclic graph in terms of order and girth. In each case we characterize th...
