Abstract
The modified first Zagreb connection index ZC∗1 for a graph G is defined as ZC∗1 (G) = sum v∈V (G) dvτv , where dv is the degree of the vertex v and τv denotes the connection number of v (that is, the number of vertices at the distance 2 from the vertex v). Let Tn,α be the class of trees with order n and matching number α such that n > 2α−1. In this paper, we obtain the lower bounds on the modified first Zagreb connection index of trees belonging to the class Tn,α, for 2α − 1 < n < 3α + 2.
