## Abstract We consider the family of graphs with a fixed number of vertices and edges. Among all these graphs, we are looking for those minimizing the sum of the square roots of the vertex degrees. We prove that there is a unique such graph, which consists of the largest possible complete subgraph

โฆ Synopsis
Let G be a graph on n vertices, and let CHP(G; ฮป) be the characteristic polynomial of its adjacency matrix A(G). All n roots of CHP(G; ฮป), denoted by ฮป i (i = 1, 2, . . . n), are called to be its eigenvalues. The energy E(G) of a graph G, is the sum of absolute values of all eigenvalues, namely, E(G) = n i=1 |ฮป i |. Let U n be the set of n-vertex unicyclic graphs, the graphs with n vertices and n edges. A fully loaded unicyclic graph is a unicyclic graph taken from U n with the property that there exists no vertex with degree less than 3 in its unique cycle. Let U 1 n be the set of fully loaded unicyclic graphs. In this article, the graphs in U 1 n with minimal and second-minimal energies are uniquely determined, respectively.

## Contractible transformations of graphs consist of contractible gluing and deleting of vertices and edges of graphs. They partition all graphs into the family of homotopy classes. Contractible transformations do not change the Euler characteristic and the homology groups of graphs. In this paper
The Hosoya index, denoted by z(G), of a (molecular) graph G is defined as the total number of independent-edge sets of G. Let U n be the set of unicyclic graphs with n vertices. A fully loaded unicyclic graph is a unicyclic graph with the property that there is no vertex with degree less than 3 in i
For a graph G, if E(G) can be partitioned into several pairwise disjoint sets as {EI,& . . . , El} such that for any i with 1 *3. We prove that (i) for any %-graph of order n 23, it has both a {n,n -2}tree-decomposition and a {n -1,n -1}-tree-decomposition, and moreover, these two kinds of tree-deco
