New Results on the Forgotten Topological Index and Coindex

The ℱ -coindex (forgotten topological coindex) for a simple connected graph G is defined as the sum of the terms ζ G 2 y + ζ G 2 x over all nonadjacent vertex pairs x , y of G , where ζ G y and ζ G x are the degrees of the vertices y and x in G , respectively. The ℱ -index of a graph is defined as the sum of cubes of the vertex degrees of the graph. This was introduced in 1972 in the same paper where the first and second Zagreb indices were introduced to study the structure dependency of total π -electron energy. Therefore, considering the importance of the ℱ -index and ℱ -coindex, in this paper, we study these indices, and we present new bounds for the ℱ -index and ℱ -coindex.

The Sigma Coindex of Graph Operations

The sigma coindex is defined as the sum of the squares of the differences between the degrees of all nonadjacent vertex pairs. In this paper, we propose some mathematical properties of the sigma coindex. Later, we present precise results for the sigma coindices of various graph operations such as tensor product, Cartesian product, lexicographic product, disjunction, strong product, union, join, and corona product.
