We investigate the Zagreb index, one of the topological indices, of random recursive trees in this paper. Through a recurrence equation, the first two moments ofZn, the Zagreb index of a random recursive tree of sizen, are obtained. We also show that the random process {Zn− E[Zn],n≥ 1} is a martingale. Then the asymptotic normality of the Zagreb index of a random recursive tree is given by an application of the martingale central limit theorem. Finally, two other topological indices are also discussed in passing.

We obtain sufficient conditions for the convergence of martingale triangular arrays to infinitely divisible laws with finite variances, without making the usual assumptions of uniform asymptotic negligibility. Our results generalise known results for both the martingale case under a negligibility assumption and the classical (independence) case without such assumptions.
