We derive closed formulae for the numbers of rooted maps with a fixed number of vertices of the same odd degree except for the root vertex and one other exceptional vertex of degree 1. The same applies to the generating functions for these numbers. Similar results, but without the vertex of degree 1, were obtained by the first author and Rahman. We also show, by manipulating a recursion of Bout...

The total irregularity of a graph G is defined as 〖irr〗_t (G)=1/2 ∑_(u,v∈V(G))▒〖|d_u-d_v |〗, where d_u denotes the degree of a vertex u∈V(G). In this paper by using the Gini index, we obtain the ordering of the total irregularity index for some classes of connected graphs, with the same number of vertices.

We define a dynamic model of random networks, where new vertices are connected to old ones with a probability proportional to a sublinear function of their degree. We first give a strong limit law for the empirical degree distribution, and then have a closer look at the temporal evolution of the degrees of individual vertices, which we describe in terms of large and moderate deviation principle...

We find the extremal values of the energy, the Wiener index and several vertex-degree-based topological indices over the set of Kragujevac trees with the central vertex of fixed degree. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification : 05C90, 05C35.
