On the Maximal Eccentric Distance Sums of Graphs

الملخص EN

If G is a simple connected graph with vertex V(G), then the eccentric distance sum of G, denoted by ξd(G), is defined as ∑v∈V(G)ecG(v)DG(v), where ecG(v) is the eccentricity of the vertex v and DG(v) is the sum of all distances from the vertex v.

Let n≥8.

We determine the n-vertex trees with, respectively, the maximum, second-maximum, third-maximum, and fourth-maximum eccentric distance sums.

We also characterize the extremal unicyclic graphs on n vertices with respectively, the maximal, second maximal, and third maximal eccentric distance sums.
