The Kirchhoff indices and the matching numbers of unicyclic graphs
Abstract
The Kirchhoff index of a connected graph is the sum of resistance distances between all unordered pairs of vertices in the graph. It found considerable applications in a variety of fields. In this paper, we determine the minimum Kirchhoff index among the unicyclic graphs with fixed number of vertices and matching number, and characterize the extremal graphs.
