Minimum Eccentric Connectivity Index for Graphs With Fixed Order and Fixed Number of Pendant
Yugoslav journal of operations research, Tome 29 (2019) no. 2, p. 193
The eccentric connectivity index of a connected graph G is the sum over
all vertices v of the product $d_G(v) e_G(v)$, where $d_G(v)$ is the degree of $v$ in $G$ and $e_G(v)$
is the maximum distance between $v$ and any other vertex of $G$. We characterize, with
a new elegant proof, those graphs which have the smallest eccentric connectivity index
among all connected graphs of a given order $n$. Then, given two integers $n$ and $p$ with
$p \le n-1$, we characterize those graphs which have the smallest eccentric connectivity
index among all connected graphs of order $n$ with $p$ pendant vertices.
