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.

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 simple connected graph [Formula: see text] of order [Formula: see text] is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] are the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we characterize all tetracyclic graphs of order [Formula: see text] with maximal Estrada index.

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.

Let G be a simple connected graph on n vertices and λ_1, λ_2, . . . , λ_n be the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of G. The Estrada index of G is defined as EE(G) = \sum_{i=1}^n e^{λi}. A cactus is a connected graph in which any two cycles have at most one common vertex. In this work, the unique graph with maximal Estrada index in the class of all cacti with n vertices and k cycles was determined. Also, the unique graph with maximal Estrada index in the class of all cacti with n vertices and k cut edges was determined.

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.

Let G be a graph on n vertices. The Estrada index of G is an invariant that is calculated from the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph. V. Nikiforov studied hybrids of A(G) and D(G) and defined the Aα-matrix for every real α∈[0,1] as: Aα(G)=αD(G)+(1−α)A(G). In this paper, using a different demonstration technique, we present a way to compare the Estrada index of the Aα-matrix with the Estrada index of the adjacency matrix of the graph G. Furthermore, lower bounds for the Estrada index are established.

Abstract The distance matrix 𝒟(G) of a connected graph G is the matrix containing the pairwise distances between vertices. The transmission of a vertex vi in G is the sum of the distances from vi to all other vertices and T(G) is the diagonal matrix of transmissions of the vertices of the graph. The normalized distance Laplacian, 𝒟𝒧(G) = I−T(G)−1/2 𝒟(G)T(G)−1/2, is introduced. This is analogous to the normalized Laplacian matrix, 𝒧(G) = I − D(G)−1/2 A(G)D(G)−1/2, where D(G) is the diagonal matrix of degrees of the vertices of the graph and A(G) is the adjacency matrix. Bounds on the spectral radius of 𝒟 𝒧 and connections with the normalized Laplacian matrix are presented. Twin vertices are used to determine eigenvalues of the normalized distance Laplacian. The distance generalized characteristic polynomial is defined and its properties established. Finally, 𝒟𝒧-cospectrality and lack thereof are determined for all graphs on 10 and fewer vertices, providing evidence that the normalized distance Laplacian has fewer cospectral pairs than other matrices.

The energy of a graph G, ?(G), is the sum of absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. The matching number ?(G) is the number of edges in a maximum matching. In this paper, for a connected graph G of order n with largest vertex degree ? ? 6 we present two new upper bounds for the energy of a graph: ?(G) ? (n-1)?? and ?(G) ? 2?(G)??. The latter one improves recently obtained bound ?(G) ? {2?(G)?2?e + 1, if ?e is even; ?(G)(? a + 2?a + ?a-2?a), otherwise, where ?e stands for the largest edge degree and a = 2(?e + 1). We also present a short proof of this result and several open problems.

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.
