In this paper we present a theoretical analysis in order to establish maximal and minimal vectors with respect to the majorization order of particular subsets of Ân. Afterwards we apply these issues to the calculation of bounds for a topological descriptor of a graph known as the second Zagreb index. Finally, we show how our bounds may improve the results obtained in the literature, providing some theoretical and numerical examples.

Abstract
In this paper we present a theoretical analysis in order to establish maximal and minimal vectors with respect to the majorization order of particular subsets of Ân. Afterwards we apply these issues to the calculation of bounds for a topological descriptor of a graph known as the second Zagreb index. Finally, we show how our bounds may improve the results obtained in the literature, providing some theoretical and numerical examples.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
