Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A graph invariant for G is a number related to the structure of G which is invariant under the symmetry of G. The Sombor and reduced Sombor indices of G are two new graph invariants defined as SO(G)=∑uv∈E(G)dG(u)2+dG(v)2 and SOred(G)=∑uv∈E(G)dG(u)−12+dG(v)−12, respectively, where dG(v) is the degree of the vertex v in G. We denote by Hn,ν the graph constructed from the star Sn by adding ν edge(s), 0≤ν≤n−2, between a fixed pendent vertex and ν other pendent vertices. Réti et al. [T. Réti, T Došlić and A. Ali, On the Sombor index of graphs, Contrib. Math.3 (2021) 11–18] proposed a conjecture that the graph Hn,ν has the maximum Sombor index among all connected ν-cyclic graphs of order n, where 0≤ν≤n−2. In some earlier works, the validity of this conjecture was proved for ν≤5. In this paper, we confirm that this conjecture is true, when ν=6. The Sombor index in the case that the number of pendent vertices is less than or equal to n−ν−2 is investigated, and the same results are obtained for the reduced Sombor index. Some relationships between Sombor, reduced Sombor, and first Zagreb indices of graphs are also obtained.

We associate a graph [Formula: see text] to a non locally cyclic group G (called the non-cyclic graph of G) as follows: take G\ Cyc (G) as vertex set, where Cyc (G) = {x ∈ G | 〈x,y〉 is cyclic for all y ∈ G} is called the cyclicizer of G, and join two vertices if they do not generate a cyclic subgroup. For a simple graph Γ, w(Γ) denotes the clique number of Γ, which is the maximum size (if it exists) of a complete subgraph of Γ. In this paper we characterize groups whose non-cyclic graphs have clique numbers at most 4. We prove that a non-cyclic group G is solvable whenever [Formula: see text] and the equality for a non-solvable group G holds if and only if G/ Cyc (G) ≅ A5 or S5.

New graph invariants, named exponential Zagreb indices, are introduced for more than one type of Zagreb index. After that, in terms of exponential Zagreb indices, lists on equality results over special graphs are presented as well as some new bounds on unicyclic, acyclic, and general graphs are obtained. Moreover, these new graph invariants are determined for some graph operations.

The third leap Zagreb index of a graph [Formula: see text] is denoted as [Formula: see text] and is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the 2-distance degree and the degree of the vertex [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], respectively. The first, second and third leap Zagreb indices were introduced by Naji et al. [A. M. Naji, N. D. Soner and I. Gutman, On leap Zagreb indices of graphs, Commun. Combin. Optim. 2(2) (2017) 99–117] in 2017. In this paper, the behavior of the third leap Zagreb index under several graph operations like the Cartesian product, Corona product, neighborhood Corona product, lexicographic product, strong product, tensor product, symmetric difference and disjunction of two graphs is studied.

Let G be a graph with diameter D, maximum vertex degree ?, the largest eigenvalue ?1 and m distinct eigenvalues. The products m? and (D+1) ?1 are called the tightness of G of the first and second type, respectively. In the recent literature it was suggested that graphs with a small tightness of the first type are good models for the multiprocessor interconnection networks. We study these and some other types of tightness and some related graph invariants and demonstrate their usefulness in the analysis of multiprocessor interconnection networks. Tightness values for graphs of some standard interconnection networks are determined. We also present some facts showing that the tightness of the second type is a relevant graph invariant. We prove that the number of connected graphs with a bounded tightness is finite.

Let G = (V,E), V = {1,2,..., n}, E = {e1,e2,..., em}, be a simple graph with n vertices and m edges. Denote by d1 ? d2 ? ... ? dn > 0, and d(e1) ? d(e2) ? d(em), sequences of vertex and edge degrees, respectively. If i-th and j-th vertices of G are adjacent, it is denoted as i ~ j. Graph invariants referred to as the first, second and the first reformulated Zagreb indices are defined as M1=?ni=1 di2, M2= ?i~j didj and EM1 = ?mi=1 d(ei)2, respectively. Let ?1 ? ?2? ... ?n be eigenvalues of G. With ?(G) = ?1 a spectral radius of G is denoted. Lower bounds for invariants M1, M2, EM1 and ?(G) are obtained.


In chemical graph theory, topological index is one of the graph invariants which is a fixed number based on structure of a graph. Topological index is used as one of the tool to analyze molecular structures and for proper and optimal design of nanostructure. In this paper we realize the real numbers that are topological indices such as Zagreb indices, Randic index, NK-index, multiplicative F-index and multiplicative Zagreb indices along with some characterizations.

Several graph invariants have been defined and studied, which present applications in nanochemistry, computer networks, and other areas of science. One vastly studied class of the graph invariants is the class of the topological indices, which helps in the studies of chemical, biological, and physical properties of a chemical structure. One recently introduced graph invariant is the face index, which can assist in predicting the energy and the boiling points of the certain chemical structures. In this paper, we drive the analytical closed formulas of face index of silicon carbides Si2C3−Ia,b, Si2C3−IIa,b, Si2C3−IIIa,b, and SiC3−IIIa,b.

If G = ( V ( G ) , E ( G ) ) is a simple connected graph with the vertex set V ( G ) and the edge set E ( G ) , S is a subset of V ( G ) , and let B ( S ) be the set of neighbors of S in V ( G ) ∖ S . Then, the differential of S ∂ ( S ) is defined as | B ( S ) | − | S | . The differential of G, denoted by ∂ ( G ) , is the maximum value of ∂ ( S ) for all subsets S ⊆ V ( G ) . The graph operator Q ( G ) is defined as the graph that results by subdividing every edge of G once and joining pairs of these new vertices iff their corresponding edges are incident in G. In this paper, we study the relations between ∂ ( G ) and ∂ ( Q ( G ) ) . Besides, we exhibit some results relating the differential ∂ ( G ) and well-known graph invariants, such as the domination number, the independence number, and the vertex-cover number.
