Abstract:

Let G = (V,E) be a finite and simple graph with λ12,n as its eigenvalues. The Estrada index of G is EE(G) = i=1neλi. For a positive integer k, a connected graph G is called strict k-quasi tree if there exists a set U of vertices of size k such that G U is a tree and this is as small as possible with this property. In this paper, we define point attaching strict k-quasi tree graphs and obtain the graph with minimum Estrada index among point attaching strict k-quasi tree graphs with k even cycles.



Keywords:

Estrada Index, quasi tree graph, point attaching Strict k-quasi tree graph.
