Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and investigate the symmetric division deg energy SDDE(G) of a graph. We establish upper and lower bounds for SDDE(G). Also the symmetric division deg energy for certain graphs with one edge deleted are calculated.

In mathematical chemistry, topological indices play an important role due to their countless applications. There are many topological indices such as Randić index, sum-connectivity index, atom bond connectivity index, Zagreb indices, etc. One of those numerical descriptors, the symmetric division deg index, is included in the list of 148 discrete Adriatic indices and is a very good predictor of total surface area of polychlorobiphenyls (PCB).

The symmetric division deg index of a graph G is defined by

The concept of the symmetric division deg index motivates one to associate a symmetric square matrix SDD(G) to a graph G. The symmetric division deg matrix is, by this reason, defined as

Let G be a simple, finite, undirected graph. The classical energy E(G) is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. For more details on energy of a graph, see 2, 3.

Let SDD(G) be the symmetric division deg matrix. The characteristic polynomial of SDD(G) will be denoted by and defined as

Since the symmetric division deg matrix is real and symmetric, its eigenvalues are real numbers and we label them in non-increasing order The symmetric division deg energy of is similarly defined by
