Abstract

Let G be a simple connected graph, and let di be the degree of its i-th vertex. The sum-connectivity index of the graph G is defined as χ(G)=ΣvivjE(G)? (di+dj)1/2. We discuss the effect on χ(G) of inserting an edge into a graph. Moreover, we obtain the relations between sum-connectivity index and Randić index.
