RT Journal Article T1 On the maximal general ABC index of graphs with given maximum degree A1 Das, Kinkar Chandra A1 Rodríguez García, José Manuel A1 Sigarreta Almira, José María AB The atom-bond connectivity index ABC is a topological index that has recently found remarkable applications in the study of the strain energy of cycloalkanes as well as in rationalizing the stability of linear and branched alkanes. In order to improve the correlationproperties of the atom-bond connectivity index for the heat of formation of alkanes, Furtula et al. considered a generalization of this index, namely,ABCα = ABCα (G) =uv∈E(G) du + dv − 2dudv αfor any α ∈ R \ {0},where dv is the degree of the vertex v and uv denotes the edge connecting the verticesu and v of graph G. Here, we obtain some optimization results for ABCα of the connectedgraph G.
