Abstract:
Let G(n,m) be a simple graph with vertex set V and S ⊆ V with |S| = σ. The graph GS is obtained by adding a self-loop to each vertex of the graph G in the set S. The Randić index of a graph is one of the important topological indices which has its application in chemistry. In this manuscript, the Randić index of a graph with self-loops is defined and are obtained some bounds for the same.
Keywords:
Graph with self-loops, topological index, degree of a vertex.
