In [1], Abdo and Dimitov defined the total irregularity of a graph G=(V,E) as irrt(G)=1/2 ?u,v?V|dG(u)-dG(v)|, where dG(u) denotes the vertex degree of a vertex u ? V. In this paper, we investigate the minimal total irregularity of the connected graphs, determine the minimal, the second minimal, the third minimal total irregularity of trees, unicyclic graphs, bicyclic graphs on n vertices, and propose an open problem for further research.

The total irregularity index of a graph [Formula: see text] is defined by Abdo et al. [H. Abdo, S. Brandt and D. Dimitrov, The total irregularity of a graph, Discrete Math. Theor. Comput. Sci. 16 (2014) 201–206] as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the degree of a vertex [Formula: see text]. In 2014, You et al. [L. H. You, J. S. Yang and Z. F. You, The maximal total irregularity of unicyclic graphs, Ars Comb. 114 (2014) 153–160.] characterized the graph having maximum [Formula: see text] value among all elements of the class [Formula: see text] (Unicyclic graphs) and Zhou et al. [L. H. You, J. S. Yang, Y. X. Zhu and Z. F. You, The maximal total irregularity of bicyclic graphs, J. Appl. Math. 2014 (2014) 785084, http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/785084 ] characterized the graph having maximum [Formula: see text] value among all elements of the class [Formula: see text] (Bicyclic graphs). In this paper, we characterize the aforementioned graphs with an alternative but comparatively simple approach. Also, we characterized the graphs having maximum [Formula: see text] value among the classes [Formula: see text] (Tricyclic graphs), [Formula: see text] (Tetracyclic graphs), [Formula: see text] (Pentacyclic graphs) and [Formula: see text] (Hexacyclic graphs).

The aim of this report to solve the open problem suggested by Chen et al. We study the graph entropy with ABC edge weights and present bounds of it for connected graphs, regular graphs, complete bipartite graphs, chemical graphs, tree, unicyclic graphs, and star graphs. Moreover, we compute the graph entropy for some families of dendrimers.

The algebraic connectivity of a graph $G$ is the second smallest eigenvalue of its Laplacian matrix. Let $\mathscr{B}_n$ be the set of all bicyclic graphs of order $n$. In this paper, we determine the last four bicyclic graphs (according to their smallest algebraic connectivities) among all graphs in $\mathscr{B}_n$ when $n\geq 13$. This result, together with our previous results on trees and unicyclic graphs, can be used to further determine the last sixteen graphs among all connected graphs of order $n$. This extends the results of Shao et al. [The ordering of trees and connected graphs by their algebraic connectivity, Linear Algebra Appl. 428 (2008) 1421-1438].

The Randic index R(G) of a graph G is the sum of the weights (dudv)-1/2 of all edges uv in G, where du denotes the degree of vertex u. Du and Zhou [On Randic indices of trees, unicyclic graphs, and bicyclic graphs, Int. J. Quantum Chem. 111 (2011), 2760-2770] determined the n-vertex trees with the third for n ? 7, the fourth for n ? 10, the fifth and the sixth for n ? 11 maximum Randic indices. Recently, Li et al. [The Randic indices of trees, unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs, Ars Comb. 127 (2016), 409-419] obtained the n-vertex trees with the seventh, the eighth, the ninth and the tenth for n ? 11 maximum Randic indices. In this paper, we correct the ordering for the Randic indices of trees obtained by Li et al., and characterize the trees with from the seventh to the sixteenth maximum Randic indices. The obtained extremal trees are molecular and thereby the obtained ordering also holds for molecular trees.

Simple finite connected graphs G=V,E of p≥2 vertices are considered in this paper. A connected detour set of G is defined as a subset S⊆V such that the induced subgraph GS is connected and every vertex of G lies on a u−v detour for some u,v∈S. The connected detour number cdnG of a graph G is the minimum order of the connected detour sets of G. In this paper, we determined cdnG for three special classes of graphs G, namely, unicyclic graphs, bicyclic graphs, and cog-graphs for Cp, Kp, and Km,n.

The total irregularity of a simple undirected graph $G$ is defined as $\text{irr}_{t}(G)=\frac{1}{2}\sum _{u,v\in V(G)}|d_{G}(u)-d_{G}(v)|$, where $d_{G}(u)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $u\in V(G)$. Obviously, $\text{irr}_{t}(G)=0$ if and only if $G$ is regular. Here, we characterise the nonregular graphs with minimal total irregularity and thereby resolve the recent conjecture by Zhu et al. [‘The minimal total irregularity of graphs’, Preprint, 2014, arXiv:1404.0931v1 ] about the lower bound on the minimal total irregularity of nonregular connected graphs. We show that the conjectured lower bound of $2n-4$ is attained only if nonregular connected graphs of even order are considered, while the sharp lower bound of $n-1$ is attained by graphs of odd order. We also characterise the nonregular graphs with the second and the third smallest total irregularity.

In 2012, Abdo and Dimitrov defined the total irregularity of a graphG=(V,E)asirrtG=1/2∑u,v∈VdGu-dGv, wheredGudenotes the vertex degree of a vertexu∈V. In this paper, we investigate the total irregularity of bicyclic graphs and characterize the graph with the maximal total irregularity among all bicyclic graphs onnvertices.

Let G be a connected (molecular) graph with the vertex set V(G)={v1,⋯,vn}, and let di and σi denote, respectively, the vertex degree and the transmission of vi, for 1≤i≤n. In this paper, we aim to provide a new matrix description of the celebrated Wiener index. In fact, we introduce the Wiener–Hosoya matrix of G, which is defined as the n×n matrix whose (i,j)-entry is equal to σi2di+σj2dj if vi and vj are adjacent and 0 otherwise. Some properties, including upper and lower bounds for the eigenvalues of the Wiener–Hosoya matrix are obtained and the extremal cases are described. Further, we introduce the energy of this matrix.

The [Formula: see text]-index of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is defined as the sum of weights [Formula: see text] over all edges [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the degree of a vertex [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give sharp upper bounds of the [Formula: see text]-index (forgotten topological index) over bicyclic graphs, in terms of the order and maximum degree.
