Title
Weighted Harary indices of apex trees and k-apex trees
Abstract
If G is a connected graph, then HA(G)=∑u≠v(deg(u)+deg(v))/d(u,v) is the additively Harary index and HM(G)=∑u≠vdeg(u)deg(v)/d(u,v) the multiplicatively Harary index of G. G is an apex tree if it contains a vertex x such that G−x is a tree and is a k-apex tree if k is the smallest integer for which there exists a k-set X⊆V(G) such that G−X is a tree. Upper and lower bounds on HA and HM are determined for apex trees and k-apex trees. The corresponding extremal graphs are also characterized in all the cases except for the minimum k-apex trees, k≥3. In particular, if k≥2 and n≥6, then HA(G)≤(k+1)(3n2−5n−k2−k+2)/2 holds for any k-apex tree G, equality holding if and only if G is the join of Kk and K1,n−k−1.
