For a (molecular) graph G with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), the first Zagreb index of G is defined as , where dG(vi) is the degree of vertex vi in G. Recently Xu et al. introduced two graphical invariants and named as first multiplicative Zagreb coindex and second multiplicative Zagreb coindex, respectively. The Narumi-Katayama index of a graph G, denoted by NK(G), is equal to the product of the degrees of the vertices of G, that is, NK(G) = . The irregularity index t(G) of G is defined as the number of distinct terms in the degree sequence of G. In this paper, we give some lower and upper bounds on the first Zagreb index M1(G) of graphs and trees in terms of number of vertices, irregularity index, maxi- mum degree, and characterize the extremal graphs. Moreover, we obtain some lower and upper bounds on the (first and second) multiplicative Zagreb coindices of graphs and characterize the extremal graphs. Finally, we present some relations between first Zagreb index and Narumi-Katayama index, and (first and second) multiplicative Zagreb index and coindices of graphs.

Graph theory is one of the rising areas in mathematics due to its applications in many areas of science. Amongst several study areas in graph theory, spectral graph theory and topological descriptors are in front rows. These descriptors are widely used in QSPR/QSAR studies in mathematical chemistry. Vertex-semitotal graphs are one of the derived graph classes which are useful in calculating several physico-chemical properties of molecular structures by means of molecular graphs modelling the molecules. In this paper, several topological descriptors of vertex- semitotal graphs are calculated. Some new relations on these values are obtained by means of a recently defined graph invariant called omega invariant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let G be a null, path, cycle, star, complete or a tadpole graph. In this paper, the first and second Zagreb and multiplicative Zagreb indices of subgraphs of the double graphs of G are obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
