Abstract:

For a simple graph G with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), let deg(u) be the degree of the vertex u V (G). The forgotten index of G and its coindex are defined as F(G) = vV (G) deg 3(v) and F(G) = uv⁄∈E(G)[ deg 2(u) + deg 2(v)]. New bonds for the first Zagreb index M1(G) = vV (G) deg(v)2, forgotten index, and its coindex are obtained.

Keywords:

Degree (of vertex), coindex, forgotten index, F-index, Zagreb index.
