The graph-parameters mainly studies vertex degree and distance between unordered vertices. There are many graph-parameters, and this paper mainly focuses on the Gutman index. For the sake of discussion, this paper puts forward the concept of “contribution” based on the relationship between Gutman index of graph and vertex-Gutman index. On this basis, we discussed the Gutman index of unicyclic graph with pendent edges in odd and even parts, and gave the corresponding extremal graphs, which lays a foundation for the study of the Gutman index of other cycle graphs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
