The largest Wiener index of unicyclic graphs given girth or maximum degree

The Wiener index of a connected graph G is defined to be the sum of all distances of pairs of distinct vertices of G. Yu and Feng (Ars Comb 94:361–369, 2010) determined the unique graph having the largest Wiener index among all unicyclic graphs given girth. In the article we first give two new graphic transformations. Then with them we determine the graphs having the second largest Wiener index among all unicyclic graphs given girth and we also determine the graphs having the largest Wiener index among all unicyclic graphs given maximum degree.     

Remarks on the Wiener index of unicyclic graphs

Unicyclic graphs are connected graphs with the same number of vertices and edges. Tang and Deng (J. Math. Chem. 43:60–74, 2008) considered the problem of classification of all unicyclic graphs with the first three smallest and largest Wiener indices. In this paper, by construction of some classes of unicyclic graphs, the classification of unicyclic graphs with the first three maximum and minimum Wiener indices is completed.     

图的Hyper-Wiener指数的综述(英文)

设G是一个图.G的顶点u和v的距离是u和v之间最短路的长度.Wiener指数是G中所有无序顶点对之间距离之和,而Hyper-Wiener指数定义为WW(G)=?∑u,v∈V(G)d(u,v)+?∑u,v∈V(G)d2(u,v),式中的和取遍G的所有顶点对.本文总结了图的Hyper-Wiener指数的最近结论.     

若干图类的Wiener指数的极值

一个图的Wiener指数是指这个图中所有点对的距离和.Wiener指数在理论化学中有广泛应用. 本文刻画了给定顶点数及特定参数如色数或团数的图中Wiener指数达最小值的图, 同时也刻画了给定顶点数及团数的图中Wiener指数达最大值的图.     

一类三圈图的Wiener指数

图G的Wiener指数是指图G中所有顶点对间的距离之和,即W（G）=∑dc（u,u）,{u,u}CG其中de（u,u）表示G中顶点u,u之间的距离.三圈图是指边数与顶点数之差等于2的连通图,任意两个圈至多只有一个公共点的三圈图记为T_n~3.研究了三圈图T_n~3的Wiener指数,给出了其具有最小、次小Wiener指数的图结构.     

单圈图的hyper-Wiener指标

令u（n）表示具有n个顶点的单圈图.在一个圈C3的一个顶点上悬挂n-3个悬挂边的n个顶点的单圈图记为U~＊（n-3,0,0）.本文证明了在u（n）中具有最小hyper-Wiener指数的单圈图是U~＊（n-3,0,0）.     

Some results on the Laplacian eigenvalues of unicyclic graphs

In this paper, we provide the smallest value of the second largest Laplacian eigenvalue for any unicyclic graph, and find the unicyclic graphs attaining that value. And also give an “asymptotically good” upper bounds for the second largest Laplacian eigenvalues of unicyclic graphs. Using this results, we can determine unicyclic graphs with maximum Laplacian separator. And unicyclic graphs with maximum Laplacian spread will also be determined.     

Reciprocal complementary Wiener numbers of trees, unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs

The reciprocal complementary Wiener number of a connected graph G is defined as

where V(G) is the vertex set, d(u,v|G) is the distance between vertices u and v, d is the diameter of G. We determine the trees with the smallest, the second smallest and the third smallest reciprocal complementary Wiener numbers, and the unicyclic and bicyclic graphs with the smallest and the second smallest reciprocal complementary Wiener numbers.     

Calculating the edge Wiener and edge Szeged indices of graphs

The edge Szeged and edge Wiener indices of graphs are new topological indices presented very recently. It is not difficult to apply a modification of the well-known cut method to compute the edge Szeged and edge Wiener indices of hexagonal systems. The aim of this paper is to propose a method for computing these indices for general graphs under some additional assumptions.     

The signless Laplacian spectral radius of graphs with given degree sequences

In this paper, we investigate the properties of the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius in the set of all simple connected graphs with a given degree sequence. These results are used to characterize the unicyclic graphs that have the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius for a given unicyclic graphic degree sequence. Moreover, all extremal unicyclic graphs having the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius are obtained in the sets of all unicyclic graphs of order n with a specified number of leaves or maximum degree or independence number or matching number.     

Four new sums of graphs and their Wiener indices

The Wiener index is the sum of distances between all vertex pairs in a connected graph. This notion was motivated by various mathematical properties and chemical applications. In this paper we introduce four new operations on graphs and study the Wiener indices of the resulting graphs.     

On the Laplacian spectral radii of bipartite graphs

The Laplacian spectral radius of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of the associated Laplacian matrix. In this paper, we provide structural and behavioral details of graphs with maximum Laplacian spectral radius among all bipartite connected graphs of given order and size. Using these results, we provide a unified approach to determine the graphs with maximum Laplacian spectral radii among all trees, and all bipartite unicyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic and quasi-tree graphs, respectively.     

The maximum number of maximal independent sets in unicyclic connected graphs

In this paper, we determine the maximum number of maximal independent sets in a unicyclic connected graph. We also find a class of graphs achieving this maximum value.     

The minimum Wiener index of unicyclic graphs with a fixed diameter

The Wiener index is the sum of distances between all pairs of distinct vertices in a connected graph, which is the oldest topological index related to molecular branching. In the article we characterize the graphs having the minimum Wiener index among all n-vertex unicyclic graphs with a fixed diameter.

Laplacian coefficients of trees with given number of leaves or vertices of degree two

Let G be a simple undirected n-vertex graph with the characteristic polynomial of its Laplacian matrix . It is well known that for trees the Laplacian coefficient c_n-2 is equal to the Wiener index of G, while c_n-3 is equal to the modified hyper-Wiener index of graph. Using a result of Zhou and Gutman on the relation between the Laplacian coefficients and the matching numbers in subdivided bipartite graphs, we characterize the trees with k leaves (pendent vertices) which simultaneously minimize all Laplacian coefficients. In particular, this extremal balanced starlike tree S(n,k) minimizes the Wiener index, the modified hyper-Wiener index and recently introduced Laplacian-like energy. We prove that graph S(n,n-1-p) has minimal Laplacian coefficients among n-vertex trees with p vertices of degree two. In conclusion, we illustrate on examples of these spectrum-based invariants that the opposite problem of simultaneously maximizing all Laplacian coefficients has no solution, and pose a conjecture on extremal unicyclic graphs with k leaves.     

On the spectral radii of unicyclic graphs with fixed matching number

In this paper, the first five sharp upper bounds on the spectral radii of unicyclic graphs with fixed matching number are presented. The first ten spectral radii over the class of unicyclic graphs on a given number of vertices and the first four spectral radii of unicyclic graphs with perfect matchings are also given, respectively.
