The Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph G, denoted by i(G), is defined to be the total number of independent sets in G, including the empty set. A connected graph is called a unicyclic graph, if it possesses equal number of vertices and edges. In this paper, we characterize the maximal unicyclic graph w.r.t. i(G) within all unicyclic graphs with given order and number of cut vertices. As a consequence, we determine the connected graph with at least one cycle, given number of cut vertices and the maximal Merrifield-Simmons index.

The Estrada index of a graph G is defined as EE(G)=∑i=1neλi, where λ1,λ2,…,λn are the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of G. A unicyclic graph is a connected graph with a unique cycle. Let U(n,d) be the set of all unicyclic graphs with n vertices and diameter d. In this paper, we give some transformations which can be used to compare the Estrada indices of two graphs. Using these transformations, we determine the graphs with the maximum Estrada indices among U(n,d). We characterize two candidate graphs with the maximum Estrada index if d is odd and three candidate graphs with the maximum Estrada index if d is even.

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.

The Resistance-Harary index of a connected graph G is defined as R H ( G ) = ∑ { u , v } ⊆ V ( G ) 1 r ( u , v ) , where r ( u , v ) is the resistance distance between vertices u and v in G. A graph G is called a unicyclic graph if it contains exactly one cycle and a fully loaded unicyclic graph is a unicyclic graph that no vertex with degree less than three in its unique cycle. Let U ( n ) and U ( n ) be the set of unicyclic graphs and fully loaded unicyclic graphs of order n, respectively. In this paper, we determine the graphs of U ( n ) with second-largest Resistance-Harary index and determine the graphs of U ( n ) with largest Resistance-Harary index.

The forgotten topological index of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is defined as the sum of weights [Formula: see text] overall edges [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the degree of a vertex [Formula: see text]. The graph [Formula: see text] is called a quasi-unicyclic graph if there exists a vertex [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is a connected graph with a unique cycle. In this paper, we give sharp upper and lower bounds for the F-index (forgotten topological index) of the quasi-unicyclic graphs.

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.

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 detour index of a connected graph is defined as the sum of detour distances between all unordered pairs of vertices. We determine the n-vertex unicyclic graphs whose vertices on its unique cycle all have degree at least three with the first, the second and the third smallest and largest detour indices respectively for n ? 7. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classifications. 05C12, 05C35, 05C90. .

The inverse degree index is a topological index first appeared as a conjuncture made by computer program Graffiti in 1988. In this work, we use transformations over graphs and characterize the inverse degree index for these transformed families of graphs. We established bonds for different families of n -vertex connected graph with pendent paths of fixed length attached with fully connected vertices under the effect of transformations applied on these paths. Moreover, we computed exact values of the inverse degree index for regular graph specifically unicyclic graph.

In this paper we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the square of a vertex-unicyclic graph to be Hamiltonian. The conditions are simple and easily checked. Further, we show that the square of a vertex-unicyclic graph is Hamiltonian if and only if it is vertex-pancyclic.
