The Maximal Total Irregularity of Bicyclic Graphs

In 2012, Abdo and Dimitrov defined the total irregularity of a graph G=(V,E) as irrtG=1/2∑u,v∈VdGu-dGv, where dGu denotes the vertex degree of a vertex u∈V. In this paper, we investigate the total irregularity of bicyclic graphs and characterize the graph with the maximal total irregularity among al...

Description
Summary:In 2012, Abdo and Dimitrov defined the total irregularity of a graph G=(V,E) as irrtG=1/2∑u,v∈VdGu-dGv, where dGu denotes the vertex degree of a vertex u∈V. In this paper, we investigate the total irregularity of bicyclic graphs and characterize the graph with the maximal total irregularity among all bicyclic graphs on n vertices.
