Finally, we show how our bounds may improve the re- sults obtained in the literature, providing some theoretical and numerical examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-05-10T09:19:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C35", "05C05", "05C50" ], "keywords": [ "second zagreb index", "constraints", "minimal vectors", "majorization order", "establish maximal" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1105.1888B" } } }
