Abstract

Given a graph G = (V, E), the variable first and second Zagreb indices are defined by λM1(G) = Pvi∈V d2iλ and λM2(G) = Pvivj∈E dλi · dλj , where di is the degree of the vertex vi and λ is any real number. Let Gν be the class of connected graphs with cyclomatic number ν (ν ≥ 1). In this paper, we give a lower bound on λM2(G) − λM1(G) in terms of ν and λ in Gν for all λ ∈ (0, 1] and characterize the extremal graphs.
