Let G be a graph on n vertices and m edges, with maximum degree Δ(G) and minimum degree δ(G). Let A be the adjacency matrix of G, and let λ1≥λ2≥…≥λn be the eigenvalues of G. The energy of G, denoted by E(G), is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G, that is E(G)=|λ1|+…+|λn|. The energy of G is known to be at least twice the minimum degree of G, E(G)≥2δ(G). Akbari and Hosseinzadeh conjectured that the energy of a graph G whose adjacency matrix is nonsingular is in fact greater than or equal to the sum of the maximum and the minimum degrees of G, i.e., E(G)≥Δ(G)+δ(G). In this paper, we present a proof of this conjecture for hyperenergetic graphs, and we prove an inequality that appears to support the conjectured inequality. Additionally, we derive various lower and upper bounds for E(G). The results rely on elementary inequalities and their application.

The inverse sum indeg (ISI) index of a graph G is defined as the sum of the weights dG(u)dG(v)/dG(u)+dG(v) of all edges uv in G, where dG(u) is the degree of the vertex u in G. This index is found to be a significant predictor of total surface area of octane isomers. In this chapter, the authors present some lower and upper bounds for ISI index of subdivision graphs, t-subdivision graphs, s-sum and st -sum of graphs in terms of some graph parameters such as order, size, maximum degree, minimum degree, and the first Zagreb index. The extremal graphs are also characterized for their sharpness.

Let G=(V,E) be a simple graph of order n and size m with maximum degree ? and minimum degree ?. The inverse degree of a graph G with no isolated vertices is defined as ID(G) = ?n,i=1 1/di, where di is the degree of the vertex vi?V(G). In this paper, we obtain several lower and upper bounds on ID(G) of graph G and characterize graphs for which these bounds are best possible. Moreover, we compare inverse degree ID(G) with topological indices (GA1-index, ABC-index, Kf-index) of graphs.

In this paper, we present and analyze the upper and lower bounds on the Hyper Zagreb index $\chi^2(G)$ of graph $G$ in terms of the number of vertices $(n)$, number of edges $(m)$, maximum degree $(\Delta)$, minimum degree $(\delta)$ and the inverse degree $(ID(G))$. In addition, we give a counter example on the upper bound  of the second Zagreb index for Theorems 2.2 and  2.4 from \cite{ranjini}. Finally, we present lower and upper bounds on $\chi^2(G)+\chi^2(\overline G)$, where $\overline G$ denotes the complement of $G$.

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$ with $m$ edges. The energy of a graph $G$, denoted by $\mathcal{E}(G)$, is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of $G$. The Laplacian energy of the graph $G$ is defined as \[ LE = LE(G)=\sum^n_{i=1}\left|\mu_i-\frac{2m}{n}\right| \] where $\mu_1,\,\mu_2,\,\ldots,\,\mu_{n-1},\,\mu_n=0$ are the Laplacian eigenvalues of graph $G$. In this paper, some lower and upper bounds for $\mathcal{E}(G)$ are presented in terms of number of vertices, number of edges, maximum degree and the first Zagreb index, etc. Moreover, a relation between energy and Laplacian energy of graphs is given.

In this paper, the notion of energy extended to spherical fuzzy graph. The adjacency matrix of a spherical fuzzy graph is defined and we compute the energy of a spherical fuzzy graph as the sum of absolute values of eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the spherical fuzzy graph. Also, the lower and upper bounds for the energy of spherical fuzzy graphs are obtained.

A graph is said to be (?,?)-bidegreed if vertices all have one of two possible degrees: the maximum degree ? or the minimum degree ?, with ? ? ?. We show that in the set of connected (?,1)- bidegreed graphs, other than trees, with prescribed degree sequence, the graphs minimizing the adjacency matrix spectral radius cannot have vertices adjacent to ? - 1 vertices of degree 1, that is, there are not any hanging trees. Further we consider the limit point for the spectral radius of (?,1)-bidegreed graphs when degree ? vertices are inserted in each edge between any two degree ? vertices.

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 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.

For α∈[0,1], let Aα(Gσ)=αD(G)+(1−α)A(Gσ), where G is a simple undirected graph, D(G) is the diagonal matrix of its vertex degrees and A(Gσ) is the adjacency matrix of the signed graph Gσ whose underlying graph is G. In this paper, basic properties of Aα(Gσ) are obtained, its positive semidefiniteness is studied and some bounds on its eigenvalues are derived—in particular, lower and upper bounds on its largest eigenvalue are obtained.
