Abstract
The first degree-based entropy of a graph is the Shannon entropy of its degree sequence normalized by the degree sum. In this paper, we characterize the connected graphs with given order n and size m that minimize the first degree-based entropy whenever n − 1 ≤ m ≤ 2 n − 3 , thus extending and proving a conjecture by Yan.
期刊介绍:
MATCH Communications in Mathematical and in Computer Chemistry publishes papers of original research as well as reviews on chemically important mathematical results and non-routine applications of mathematical techniques to chemical problems. A paper acceptable for publication must contain non-trivial mathematics or communicate non-routine computer-based procedures AND have a clear connection to chemistry. Papers are published without any processing or publication charge.
