The degree distance of a connected graph G with vertex set V(G) is defined as D'(G)= ?u?V (G) dG (u)DG (u), where dG (u) denotes the degree of vertex u and DG (u) denotes the sum of distances between u and all vertices of G. We determine the maximum degree distance of n-vertex unicyclic graphs with given maximum degree, and the first seven maximum degree distances of n-vertex unicyclic graphs for n ? 6.

Let G be a connected graph with vertex set V(G). The Gutman index of G is defined as S(G) = ∑{u, v}⊆V(G) d(u)d(v)d(u, v), where d(u) is the degree of vertex u, and d(u, v) denotes the distance between u and v. In this paper, we characterize n-vertex unicyclic graphs with girth k, having minimal Gutman index.

The distance spectral radius of a connected graph is the largest eigenvalue of its distance matrix. For integers [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], we prove that among the connected graphs on [Formula: see text] vertices of given maximum degree [Formula: see text] with at least one cycle, the graph [Formula: see text] uniquely maximizes the distance spectral radius, where [Formula: see text] is the graph obtained from the disjoint star on [Formula: see text] vertices and path on [Formula: see text] vertices by adding two edges, one connecting the star center with a path end, and the other being a chord of the star.

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.

AbstractLet G be a connected simple graph. The degree distance of G is defined as D′(G)=∑ u∈V (G)dG(u)DG(u), where DG(u) is the sum of distances between the vertex u and all other vertices in G and dG(u) denotes the degree of vertex u in G. In contrast to many established results on extremal properties of degree distance, few results in the literature deal with the degree distance of composite graphs. Towards closing this gap, we study the degree distance of some composite graphs here. We present explicit formulas for D′ (G) of three composite graphs, namely, double graphs, extended double covers and edge copied graphs.

Recently, the first and second multiplicative Zagreb indices of graph  are defind by:  and . The first and second Zagreb coindices of graph are defind by:  and .  and , named as multiplicative Zagreb coindices. In this article, we compute the first, second and the third Zagreb indices and the first and second multiplicative Zagreb indices of some  graphs. The first and second Zagreb coindices and the first and second multiplicative Zagreb coindices of these graphs are also computed.

AbstractLet G be a finite connected graph of order n, minimum degree δ and diameter d. The degree distance D′(G) of G is defined as ∑ {u,v}⊆V (G)(deg u+deg v) d(u,v), where deg w is the degree of vertex w and d(u,v) denotes the distance between u and v. In this paper, we find an asymptotically sharp upper bound on the degree distance in terms of order, minimum degree and diameter. In particular, we prove that \[ D^\prime (G)\le \frac {1}{4}\,dn\biggl (n-\frac {d}{3}(\delta +1)\biggr )^2+O(n^3). \] As a corollary, we obtain the bound D′ (G)≤n4 /(9(δ+1) )+O(n3) for a graph G of order n and minimum degree δ. This result, apart from improving on a result of Dankelmann et al. [‘On the degree distance of a graph’, Discrete Appl. Math.157 (2009), 2773–2777] for graphs of given order and minimum degree, completely settles a conjecture of Tomescu [‘Some extremal properties of the degree distance of a graph’, Discrete Appl. Math.98(1999), 159–163].

Graphs and Algorithms International audience A clique-transversal set in a graph is a subset of the vertices that meets all maximal complete subgraphs on at least two vertices. We prove that every connected graph of order n and maximum degree three has a clique-transversal set of size left perpendicular19n/30 + 2/15right perpendicular. This bound is tight, since 19n/30 - 1/15 is a lower bound for infinitely many values of n. We also prove that the vertex set of any connected claw-free graph of maximum degree at most four, other than an odd cycle longer than three, can be partitioned into two clique-transversal sets. The proofs of both results yield polynomial-time algorithms that find corresponding solutions.

Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph on the vertex set [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a unicyclic graph, then the depth of [Formula: see text] is bounded below by [Formula: see text]. Also, we characterize [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We then compute one of the distinguished extremal Betti numbers of [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is obtained by attaching whiskers at some vertices of the cycle of length [Formula: see text], then we show that [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, we characterize [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In each of these cases, we classify the uniqueness of the extremal Betti number of these graphs.

Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph of order at least two with vertex set [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the length of an [Formula: see text] geodesic in [Formula: see text]. A function [Formula: see text] is called a dominating broadcast function of [Formula: see text] if, for each vertex [Formula: see text], there exists a vertex [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and the broadcast domination number, [Formula: see text], of [Formula: see text] is the minimum of [Formula: see text] over all dominating broadcast functions [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the set of vertices [Formula: see text] such that either [Formula: see text] lies on a [Formula: see text] geodesic or [Formula: see text] lies on a [Formula: see text] geodesic of [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be a function and, for any [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text]. We say that [Formula: see text] is a strong resolving function of [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] for every pair of distinct vertices [Formula: see text], and the strong metric dimension, [Formula: see text], of [Formula: see text] is the minimum of [Formula: see text] over all strong resolving functions [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. For any connected graph [Formula: see text], we show that [Formula: see text]; we characterize [Formula: see text] satisfying [Formula: see text] equals two and three, respectively, and characterize unicyclic graphs achieving [Formula: see text]. For any tree [Formula: see text] of order at least three, we show that [Formula: see text], and characterize trees achieving equality. Moreover, for a tree [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text], we obtain the results that [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is central, and that [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is bicentral; in each case, we characterize trees achieving equality. We conclude this paper with some remarks and an open problem.

Graph invariants, based on the distances between the vertices of a graph, are widely used in theoretical chemistry. Recently, Gutman, Feng and Yu (Transactions on Combinatorics, 01 (2012) 27- 40) introduced the degree resistance distance of a graph G, which is defined as DR(G) = ?{u,v}?V(G)[dG(u)+dG(v)]RG(u,v), where dG(u) is the degree of vertex u of the graph G, and RG(u, v) denotes the resistance distance between the vertices u and v of the graph G. Further, they characterized n-vertex unicyclic graphs having minimum and second minimum degree resistance distance. In this paper, we characterize n-vertex bicyclic graphs having maximum degree resistance distance.
