Eccentricity Index

The connective eccentricity index (CEI for short) of a graph [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the degree of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is the eccentricity of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we characterize the unique graphs with maximum CEI from three classes of graphs: the [Formula: see text]-vertex graphs with fixed connectivity and diameter, the [Formula: see text]-vertex graphs with fixed connectivity and independence number, and the [Formula: see text]-vertex graphs with fixed connectivity and minimum degree.

Signless Laplacian

Let \eta(G) denote the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius of a connected graph G. In this paper,bounds for the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius of connected graphs are given, and the extremal graph with the minimal distance signless Laplacian spectral radius among the graphs with given vertex connectivity and minimum degree is determined. Furthermore, the digraph that minimizes the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius with given vertex connectivity is characterized.

Domination Numbers

A subset D of the vertex set of a graph G, is a dominating set if every vertex in V−D is adjacent to at least one vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A subset of V−D, which is also a dominating set of G is called an inverse dominating set of G with respect to D. The inverse domination number γ′(G) is the minimum cardinality of the inverse dominating sets. Domke et al. (2004) characterized connected graphs G with γ(G)+γ′(G)=n, where n is the number of vertices in G. It is the purpose of this paper to give a complete characterization of graphs G with minimum degree at least two and γ(G)+γ′(G)=n−1.

The Relationship

The relationship between the lengths of cycles in a graph and the degrees of its vertices was first studied in a general context by G. A. Dirac. In [5], he proved that every 2-connected simple graph on n vertices with minimum degree d contains a cycle of length at least min{2d, n};. Dirac's theorem was subsequently strengthened in various directions in [7], [6], [13], [12], [2], [1], [11], [8], [14], [15] and [16].Our aim here is to investigate another aspect of this relationship, namely how the lengths of the cycles in a 2-connected graph depend on the maximum degree. Let us denote by ƒ(n, d) the largest integer k such that every 2-connected simple graph on n vertices with maximum degree d contains a cycle of length at least k. We prove in Section 2 that, for d ≧ 3 and n ≧ d + 2,

The super edge-connectivity λ′ of a connected graph G is the minimum cardinality of an edge-cut F in G such that every component of G–F contains at least two vertices. Let two connected graphs Gm and Gp have m and p vertices, minimum degree δ(Gm) and δ(Gp), edge-connectivity λ(Gm) and λ(Gp), respectively. This paper shows that min {pλ(Gm), λ(Gp) + δ(Gm), δ(Gm)(λ(Gp) + 1), (δ(Gm) + 1)λ(Gp)} ≤ λ(Gm * Gp) ≤ δ(Gm) + δ(Gp), where the product graph Gm * Gp of two given graphs Gm and Gp, defined by J. C. Bermond et al. [J. Combin. Theory B36 (1984) 32–48] in the context of the so-called (△, D)-problem, is one interesting model in the design of large reliable networks. Moreover, this paper determines λ′(Gm * Gp) ≤ min {pδ(Gm), ξ(Gp) + 2δ(Gm)} and λ′(G1 ⊕ G2) ≥ min {n, λ1 + λ2} if δ1 = δ2.

Harmonic Index

The harmonic index of a graph G is defined as the sum of the weights 2/ d(u)+d(v) of all edges uv of G, where d(u) denotes the degree of the vertex u in G. Cheng and Wang [4] proposed a conjecture: For all connected graphs G with n ? 4 vertices and minimum degree ?(G) ? k, where 1 ? k ? ?n2?+ 1, then H(G) ? H(K*k,n-k) with equality if and only if G ? K*k,n-k. K*k,n-k is a complete split graph which has only two degrees, i.e. degree k and degree n-1, and the number of vertices of degree k is n-k, while the number of vertices of degree n-1 is k. In this work, we prove that this conjecture is true when k ? n2, and give a counterexample to show that the conjecture is not correct when k = ?n/2? + 1, n is even, that is k = n/2 + 1.
