AbstractLet Eβ (G) be the set of paths of length β in a graph G. For an integer β ≥ 1 and a real number α, the (β,α)-connectivity index is defined as$$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle ^\beta\chi_\alpha(G)=\sum \limits_{v_1v_2 \cdot \cdot \cdot v_{\beta+1}\in E_\beta(G)}(d_{G}(v_1)d_{G}(v_2)...d_{G}(v_{\beta+1}))^{\alpha}. \end{array}$$The (2,1)-connectivity index shows good correlation with acentric factor of an octane isomers. In this paper, we compute the (2, α)-connectivity index of certain class of graphs, present the upper and lower bounds for (2, α)-connectivity index in terms of number of vertices, number of edges and minimum vertex degree and determine the extremal graphs which achieve the bounds. Further, we compute the (2, α)-connectivity index of line graphs of subdivision graphs of 2D-lattice, nanotube and nanotorus of TUC4C8[p,q], tadpole graphs, wheel graphs and ladder graphs.

<abstract><p>The zeroth-order general Randić index of graph $ G = (V_G, E_G) $, denoted by $ ^0R_{\alpha}(G) $, is the sum of items $ (d_{v})^{\alpha} $ over all vertices $ v\in V_G $, where $ \alpha $ is a pertinently chosen real number. In this paper, we obtain the sharp upper and lower bounds on $ ^0R_{\alpha} $ of trees with a given domination number $ \gamma $, for $ \alpha\in(-\infty, 0)\cup(1, \infty) $ and $ \alpha\in(0, 1) $, respectively. The corresponding extremal graphs of these bounds are also characterized.</p></abstract>

The generalized distance matrix D α ( G ) of a connected graph G is defined as D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) D ( G ) , where 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 , D ( G ) is the distance matrix and T r ( G ) is the diagonal matrix of the node transmissions. In this paper, we extend the concept of energy to the generalized distance matrix and define the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) . Some new upper and lower bounds for the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) of G are established based on parameters including the Wiener index W ( G ) and the transmission degrees. Extremal graphs attaining these bounds are identified. It is found that the complete graph has the minimum generalized distance energy among all connected graphs, while the minimum is attained by the star graph among trees of order n.

Let [Formula: see text] be multiplicative Zagreb index of a graph [Formula: see text]. A connected graph is a cactus graph if and only if any two of its cycles have at most one vertex in common, which is a generalization of trees and has been the interest of researchers in the field of material chemistry and graph theory. In this paper, we use a new tool to obtain the upper and lower bounds of [Formula: see text] for all cactus graphs and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs.

Abstract Let G be a connected graph and u and v two vertices of G. The hyper-Wiener index of graph G is $\begin{array}{} WW(G)=\frac{1}{2}\sum\limits_{u,v\in V(G)}(d_{G}(u,v)+d^{2}_{G}(u,v)) \end{array}$, where dG(u, v) is the distance between u and v. In this paper, we first give the recurrence formulae for computing the hyper-Wiener indices of polyphenyl chains and polyphenyl spiders. We then obtain the sharp upper and lower bounds for the hyper-Wiener index among polyphenyl chains and polyphenyl spiders, respectively. Moreover, the corresponding extremal graphs are determined.

Let d(G, k) be the number of pairs of vertices of a graph G that are at distance k, ? a real number, and W?(G) =?k?1 d(G, k)k?. W?(G) is called the Wiener-type invariant of G associated to real number ?. In this paper, the Wiener-type invariants of some graph operations are computed. As immediate consequences, the formulae for reciprocal Wiener index, Harary index, hyper- Wiener index and Tratch-Stankevich-Zefirov index are calculated. Some upper and lower bounds are also presented.

Topological indices of graphs have been studied due to their extensive applications in chemistry. We obtain lower bounds on the general sum-connectivity index [Formula: see text] for unicyclic graphs [Formula: see text] of given girth and diameter, and for unicyclic graphs of given diameter, where [Formula: see text]. We present the extremal graphs for all the bounds. Our results generalize previously known results on the harmonic index for unicyclic graphs of given diameter.

The hyper-Zagreb index is an important branch in the Zagreb indices family, which is defined as∑uv∈E(G)‍(d(u)+d(v))2, whered(v)is the degree of the vertexvin a graphG=(V(G),E(G)). In this paper, the monotonicity of the hyper-Zagreb index under some graph transformations was studied. Using these nice mathematical properties, the extremal graphs amongn-vertex trees (acyclic), unicyclic, and bicyclic graphs are determined for hyper-Zagreb index. Furthermore, the sharp upper and lower bounds on the hyper-Zagreb index of these graphs are provided.

AbstractIn the present paper, we introduce sharp upper and lower bounds to the ratio of two q-gamma functions ${\Gamma }_{q}(x+1)/{\Gamma }_{q}(x+s)$ Γ q ( x + 1 ) / Γ q ( x + s ) for all real number s and $0< q\neq1$ 0 < q ≠ 1 in terms of the q-digamma function. Our results refine the results of Ismail and Muldoon (Internat. Ser. Numer. Math., vol. 119, pp. 309–323, 1994) and give the answer to the open problem posed by Alzer (Math. Nachr. 222(1):5–14, 2001). Also, for the classical gamma function, our results give a Kershaw inequality for all $0< s<1$ 0 < s < 1 when letting $q\to 1$ q → 1 and a new inequality for all $s>1$ s > 1 .

Given a simple connected graph G, let D ( G ) be the distance matrix, D L ( G ) be the distance Laplacian matrix, D Q ( G ) be the distance signless Laplacian matrix, and T r ( G ) be the vertex transmission diagonal matrix of G. We introduce the generalized distance matrix D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) D ( G ) , where α ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] . Noting that D 0 ( G ) = D ( G ) , 2 D 1 2 ( G ) = D Q ( G ) , D 1 ( G ) = T r ( G ) and D α ( G ) − D β ( G ) = ( α − β ) D L ( G ) , we reveal that a generalized distance matrix ideally bridges the spectral theories of the three constituent matrices. In this paper, we obtain some sharp upper and lower bounds for the generalized distance energy of a graph G involving different graph invariants. As an application of our results, we will be able to improve some of the recently given bounds in the literature for distance energy and distance signless Laplacian energy of graphs. The extremal graphs of the corresponding bounds are also characterized.
