The Randic index R(G) of a graph G is defined as R(G) = ?uv?E (d(u)d(v))-1/2 where the summation goes over all edges of G. In 1988, Fajtlowicz proposed a conjecture: For all connected graphs G with average distance ad(G), then R(G) ? ad(G). In this paper, we prove that this conjecture is true for unicyclic graphs.

We establish some bounds for the number of spanning trees of connected graphs in terms of the number of vertices(n), the number of edges(m), maximum vertex degree(Δ1), minimum vertex degree(δ),…first Zagreb index(M1),and Randić index(R-1).

The variation of Randic index R'(G) of a graph G is defined by R'(G) = ?uv 1/ max{du,dv}, where du is the degree of a vertex u in G and the summation extends over all edges uv of G. In this work, we characterize the extremal trees achieving the minimum value of R0 for trees with given number of vertices and leaves. Furthermore, we characterize the extremal graphs achieving the minimum value of R' for connected graphs with given number of vertices and girth.

<abstract><p>Recently the exponential Randić index $ {{\rm e}^{\chi}} $ was introduced. The exponential Randić index of a graph $ G $ is defined as the sum of the weights $ {{\rm e}^{{\frac {1}{\sqrt {d \left(u \right) d \left(v \right) }}}}} $ of all edges $ uv $ of $ G $, where $ d(u) $ denotes the degree of a vertex $ u $ in $ G $. In this paper, we give sharp lower and upper bounds on the exponential Randić index of unicyclic graphs.</p></abstract>

We study the general Randić index of a graph [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is the edge set of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the degrees of vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. For [Formula: see text], we present lower bounds on the general Randić index for unicyclic graphs of given diameter and girth, and unicyclic graphs of given diameter. Lower bounds on the classical Randić index and the second modified Zagreb index are corollaries of our results on the general Randić index.
