We give new expressions for the traces of hypertrees and linear unicyclic hypergraphs by the weight function assigned to their connected sub-hypergraphs, and provide some perturbation results for the traces of a hypergraph with cut vertices. As applications we determine the unique hypertree with maximum Estrada index among all hypertrees with fixed number of edges and perfect matchings, and the unique unicyclic hypergraph with maximum Estrada index among all unicyclic hypergraph with fixed number of edges and girth $3$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-10-07T03:58:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C65", "15A69", "13P15", "14M99" ], "keywords": [ "uniform hypergraphs", "maximum estrada index", "application", "linear unicyclic hypergraphs", "unique unicyclic hypergraph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
