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.

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 Randic index R(G) of a graph G is defined as R(G) = ?uv?E (d(u)d(v))-1/2 where the summation goes over all edges of G. In 1988, Fajtlowicz proposed a conjecture: For all connected graphs G with average distance ad(G), then R(G) ? ad(G). In this paper, we prove that this conjecture is true for unicyclic graphs.

Topological indices are a class of numerical invariants that predict certain physical and chemical properties of molecules. Recently, two novel topological indices, named as Sombor index and reduced Sombor index, were introduced by Gutman, defined as where denotes the degree of vertex in . In this paper, our aim is to order the chemical trees, chemical unicyclic graphs, chemical bicyclic graphs and chemical tricyclic graphs with respect to Sombor index and reduced Sombor index. We determine the first fourteen minimum chemical trees, the first four minimum chemical unicyclic graphs, the first three minimum chemical bicyclic graphs, the first seven minimum chemical tricyclic graphs. At last, we consider the applications of reduced Sombor index to octane isomers.

We study the general Randić index of a graph [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is the edge set of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the degrees of vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. For [Formula: see text], we present lower bounds on the general Randić index for unicyclic graphs of given diameter and girth, and unicyclic graphs of given diameter. Lower bounds on the classical Randić index and the second modified Zagreb index are corollaries of our results on the general Randić index.
