Albertson [1] defines the imbalance of an edge (i,j) epsilon E of a graph G = (V, E) as vertical bar d(i) - d(j)vertical bar where d(j) is the degree of a vertex j epsilon V, and the irregularity irr(G) of G as the sum of imbalances of its edges. Exploiting conjectures of the system AutoGraphiX, an upper bound on irr(G) is derived, which is tight for all numbers n = vertical bar V vertical bar and m = vertical bar E vertical bar of vertices and edges compatible with the existence of a graph:irr(G) <= d(n - d)(n - d + 1) + t(t - 2d - 1)whered = [n - 1/2 - root((n- 1/2)(2) - 2m)]andt = m - (n - d)d - d(d - 1)/2.Extremal graphs are shown to be fanned split graphs, i.e., complete split graphs with the possible addition of edges all incident with the same vertex. |
