Abstract

The Randić matrix R(G) = (rij)nxn of a graph G whose vertex vi has degree di is defined by rij = 1/√didj if the vertices vi and vj are adjacent and rij = 0 otherwise. The Randić energy RE is the sum of absolute values of the eigenvalues of R(G). In MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 74 (2015) 367-387, Maden obtained several bounds on Randić energy and characterized the extremal graphs. We found some errors in the characterization of extremal graphs. Some of these are now corrected, whereas some are stated as conjectures.
