The resistance distance between two vertices of a connected graphGis defined as the effective resistance between them in the corresponding electrical network constructed fromGby replacing each edge ofGwith a unit resistor. The Kirchhoff index ofGis the sum of resistance distances between all pairs of vertices. In this paper, general bounds for the Kirchhoff index are given via the independence number and the clique number, respectively. Moreover, lower and upper bounds for the Kirchhoff index of planar graphs and fullerene graphs are investigated.

Let G be a connected graph of order n with Laplacian eigenvalues μ1 ≥ μ2 ≥ ... ≥ μn-1 > mn = 0. The Kirchhoff index of G is defined as [xxx] In this paper. we give lower and upper bounds on Kf of graphs in terms on n, number of edges, maximum degree, and number of spanning trees. Moreover, we present lower and upper bounds on the Nordhaus-Gaddum-type result for the Kirchhoff index.

AbstractThe resistance distance between any two vertices of a connected graph is defined as the effective resistance between them in the electrical network constructed from the graph by replacing each edge with a unit resistor. The Kirchhoff index of a graph is defined as the sum of all the resistance distances between any pair of vertices of the graph. Let G=H[G1, G2, …, Gk ] be the generalised join graph of G1, G2, …, Gk determined by H. In this paper, we first give formulae for resistance distances and Kirchhoff index of G in terms of parameters of ${G'_i}s$ and H. Then, we show that computing resistance distances and Kirchhoff index of G can be decomposed into simpler ones. Finally, we obtain explicit formulae for resistance distances and Kirchhoff index of G when ${G'_i}s$ and H take some special graphs, such as the complete graph, the path, and the cycle.

The resistance distance between any two vertices of a connected graph is defined as the net effective resistance between them in the electrical network constructed from the graph by replacing each edge with a unit resistor. In this article, using electric network approach and combinatorial approach, we derive exact expression for resistance distances between any two vertices of polyacene graphs.

For a graph G without isolated vertices, the inverse degree of a graph G is defined as I D ( G ) = ∑ u ∈ V ( G ) d ( u ) − 1 where d ( u ) is the number of vertices adjacent to the vertex u in G. By replacing − 1 by any non-zero real number we obtain zeroth-order general Randić index, i.e., 0 R γ ( G ) = ∑ u ∈ V ( G ) d ( u ) γ , where γ ∈ R − { 0 } . Xu et al. investigated some lower and upper bounds on I D for a connected graph G in terms of connectivity, chromatic number, number of cut edges, and clique number. In this paper, we extend their results and investigate if the same results hold for γ < 0 . The corresponding extremal graphs have also been identified.

AbstractLet G be a connected graph with vertex set V(G).The degree Kirchhoò index of G is defined as S'(G) = Σ{u,v}⊆V(G) d(u)d(v)R(u, v), where d(u) is the degree of vertex u, and R(u, v) denotes the resistance distance between vertices u and v. In this paper, we characterize the graphs having maximum and minimum degree Kirchhoò index among all n-vertex bicyclic graphs with exactly two cycles.

For any connected graph G, the distance energy, E_D(G) is defined as the sum of the absolute eigenvalues of its distance matrix.  Distance energy was introduced by Indulal et al in the year 2008. It has significant importance in QSPR analysis of molecular descriptor to study  their physico-chemical properties. Our interest in this article is to establish new lower and upper bounds for distance energy.

Let G be a graph with set of vertices V(G)(|V(G)|=n) and edge set E(G). Very recently, a new degree-based molecular structure descriptor, called Sombor index is denoted by SO(G) and is defined as SO=SO(G)=∑vivj∈E(G)dG(vi)2+dG(vj)2, where dG(vi) is the degree of the vertex vi in G. In this paper we present some lower and upper bounds on the Sombor index of graph G in terms of graph parameters (clique number, chromatic number, number of pendant vertices, etc.) and characterize the extremal graphs.

<abstract><p>We introduce the general Albertson irregularity index of a connected graph $ G $ and define it as $ A_{p}(G) = (\sum_{uv\in E(G)}|d(u)-d(v)|^p)^{\frac{1}{p}} $, where $ p $ is a positive real number and $ d(v) $ is the degree of the vertex $ v $ in $ G $. The new index is not only generalization of the well-known Albertson irregularity index and $ \sigma $-index, but also it is the Minkowski norm of the degree of vertex. We present lower and upper bounds on the general Albertson irregularity index. In addition, we study the extremal value on the general Albertson irregularity index for trees of given order. Finally, we give the calculation formula of the general Albertson index of generalized Bethe trees and Kragujevac trees.</p></abstract>

The topological indices are functions on the graph that do not depend on the labeling of their vertices. They are used by chemists for studying the properties of chemical compounds.  Let  be a simple connected graph. The Hyper-Zagreb index of the graph ,  is defined as  ,where  and  are the degrees of vertex  and , respectively. In this paper, we study the Hyper-Zagreb index and give upper and lower bounds for .
