The eccentric connectivity index of a connected graph G is the sum over all vertices v of the product dG(v)eG(v), where dG(v) is the degree of v in G and eG(v) is the maximum distance between v and any other vertex of G. We characterize, with a new elegant proof, those graphs which have the smallest eccentric connectivity index among all connected graphs of a given order n. Then, given two integers n and p with p ? n - 1, we characterize those graphs which have the smallest eccentric connectivity index among all connected graphs of order n with p pendant vertices.

Among topological descriptor of graphs, the connectivity indices are very important and they have a prominent role in theoretical chemistry. The atom-bond connectivity index of a connected graph [Formula: see text] is represented as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] represents the degree of a vertex [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] and the eccentric connectivity index of the molecular graph [Formula: see text] is represented as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the maximum distance between the vertex [Formula: see text] and any other vertex [Formula: see text] of the graph [Formula: see text]. The new eccentric atom-bond connectivity index of any connected graph [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we compute the new eccentric atom-bond connectivity index for infinite families of tetra sheets equilateral triangular and rectangular networks.

AbstractThe eccentricity εu of vertex u in a connected graph G, is the distance between u and a vertex farthermost from u. The aim of the present paper is to introduce new eccentricity based index and eccentricity based polynomial, namely modified augmented eccentric connectivity index and modified augmented eccentric connectivity polynomial respectively. As an application we compute these new indices for octagonal grid $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle O_n^m \end{array}$ and we compare the results obtained with the ones obtained by other indices like Ediz eccentric connectivity index, modified eccentric connectivity index and modified eccentric connectivity polynomial ECP(G, x).

Let [Formula: see text] be a simple connected graph with vertex set [Formula: see text] and edge set [Formula: see text]. The eccentricity [Formula: see text] of a vertex [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is the largest distance between [Formula: see text] and any other vertex of [Formula: see text]. The eccentric adjacency index (also known as Ediz eccentric connectivity index) of [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the sum of degrees of neighbors of the vertex [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the unicyclic graphs with largest eccentric adjacency index among all [Formula: see text]-vertex unicyclic graphs with a given girth. In addition, we find the tree with largest eccentric adjacency index among all the [Formula: see text]-vertex trees with a fixed diameter.

<abstract><p>The well-studied eccentric connectivity index directly consider the contribution of all edges in a graph. By considering the total eccentricity sum of all non-adjacent vertex, Hua et al. proposed a new topological index, namely, eccentric connectivity coindex of a connected graph. The eccentric connectivity coindex of a connected graph $ G $ is defined as</p> <p><disp-formula> <label/> <tex-math id="FE1"> \begin{document}$ \overline{\xi}^{c}(G) = \sum\limits_{uv\notin E(G)} (\varepsilon_{G}(u)+\varepsilon_{G}(v)). $\end{document} </tex-math></disp-formula></p> <p>Where $ \varepsilon_{G}(u) $ (resp. $ \varepsilon_{G}(v) $) is the eccentricity of the vertex $ u $ (resp. $ v $). In this paper, some extremal problems on the $ \overline{\xi}^{c} $ of graphs with given parameters are considered. We present the sharp lower bounds on $ \overline{\xi}^{c} $ for general connecteds graphs. We determine the smallest eccentric connectivity coindex of cacti of given order and cycles. Also, we characterize the graph with minimum and maximum eccentric connectivity coindex among all the trees with given order and diameter. Additionally, we determine the smallest eccentric connectivity coindex of unicyclic graphs with given order and diameter and the corresponding extremal graph is characterized as well.</p></abstract>

Abstract The second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of a graph (network) is called its algebraic connectivity which is used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, distinguish the group differences, measure the robustness, construct multiplex model, synchronize the stability, analyze the diffusion processes and find the connectivity of the graphs (networks). A connected graph containing two or three cycles is called a bicyclic graph if its number of edges is equal to its number of vertices plus one. In this paper, firstly the unique graph with a minimum algebraic connectivity is characterized in the class of connected graphs whose complements are bicyclic with exactly three cycles. Then, we find the unique graph of minimum algebraic connectivity in the class of connected graphs $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{n}={\it\Omega}^c_{1,n}\cup{\it\Omega}^c_{2,n}, \end{array}$ where $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{1,n} \end{array}$ and $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{2,n} \end{array}$ are classes of the connected graphs in which the complement of each graph of order n is a bicyclic graph with exactly two and three cycles, respectively.

Let l ≥ 1, k ≥ 1 be two integers. Given an edge-coloured connected graph G. A path P in the graph G is called l-rainbow path if each subpath of length at most l + 1 is rainbow. The graph G is called (k, l)-rainbow connected if any two vertices in G are connected by at least k pairwise internally vertex-disjoint l-rainbow paths. The smallest number of colours needed in order to make G (k, l)-rainbow connected is called the (k, l)-rainbow connection number of G and denoted by rck,l(G). In this paper, we first focus to improve the upper bound of the (1, l)-rainbow connection number depending on the size of connected graphs. Using this result, we characterize all connected graphs having the large (1, 2)-rainbow connection number. Moreover, we also determine the (1, l)-rainbow connection number in a connected graph G containing a sequence of cut-edges.

AbstractPrevious studies show that certain physical and chemical properties of chemical compounds are closely related with their molecular structure. As a theoretical basis, it provides a new way of thinking by analyzing the molecular structure of the compounds to understand their physical and chemical properties. The molecular topological indices are numerical invariants of a molecular graph and are useful to predict their bioactivity. Among these topological indices, the eccentric-connectivity index has a prominent place, because of its high degree of predictability of pharmaceutical properties. In this article, we compute the closed formulae of eccentric-connectivity–based indices and its corresponding polynomial for water-soluble perylenediimides-cored polyglycerol dendrimers. Furthermore, the edge version of eccentric-connectivity index for a new class of dendrimers is determined. The conclusions we obtained in this article illustrate the promising application prospects in the field of bioinformatics and nanomaterial engineering.

We expand on Tutte's theory of $3$-blocks for $2$-connected graphs, generalizing it to apply to infinite, locally finite graphs, and giving necessary and sufficient conditions for a labeled tree to be the $3$-block tree of a $2$-connected graph.

Let G be a connected graph with n vertices and let k be an integer such that 2 ? k ? n. The generalized connectivity kk(G) of G is the greatest positive integer l for which G contains at least l internally disjoint trees connecting S for any set S ? V (G) of k vertices. We focus on the generalized connectivity of the strong product G1 _ G2 of connected graphs G1 and G2 with at least three vertices and girth at least five, and we prove the sharp bound k3(G1 _ G2) ? k3(G1)_3(G2) + k3(G1) + k3(G2)-1.
