Bicyclic graphs with maximal revised Szeged index

Abstract: The revised Szeged index

S z^{*} (G)

is defined as

S z^{*} (G) = s u m_{e = u v i n E} (n_{u} (e) + n_{0} (e) / 2) (n_{v} (e) + n_{0} (e) / 2),

where

n_{u} (e)

and

n_{v} (e)

are, respectively, the number of vertices of

G

lying closer to vertex

u

than to vertex

v

and the number of vertices of

G

lying closer to vertex

v

than to vertex

u

, and

n_{0} (e)

is the number of vertices equidistant to

u

and

v

. Hansen used the AutoGraphiX and made the following conjecture about the revised Szeged index for a connected bicyclic graph

G

of order

n g e q 6

:

Sz^*(G)leq {{array}{ll} (n^3+n^2-n-1)/4,& {if

n

is odd}, (n^3+n^2-n)/4, & {if

n

is even}. {array}.

with equality if and only if

G

is the graph obtained from the cycle

C_{n - 1}

by duplicating a single vertex. This paper is to give a confirmative proof to this conjecture.
