Abstract
The first Zagreb index M1 of a graph G is equal to the sum of squares of the vertex degrees of G. The repetition number of a graph is the maximum multiplicity in the list of its vertex degrees. In this note, we bound the first Zagreb index of a tree from both below and above by expressions depending solely on its repetition number.
期刊介绍:
MATCH Communications in Mathematical and in Computer Chemistry publishes papers of original research as well as reviews on chemically important mathematical results and non-routine applications of mathematical techniques to chemical problems. A paper acceptable for publication must contain non-trivial mathematics or communicate non-routine computer-based procedures AND have a clear connection to chemistry. Papers are published without any processing or publication charge.
