If vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ are adjacent in $G$, it is denoted as $i\sim j$, otherwise, we write $i\nsim j$. The first Zagreb index is vertex-degree-based graph invariant defined as $M_1(G)=\sum_{i=1}^nd_i^2$, whereas the first Zagreb coindex is defined as $\overline{M}_1(G)=\sum_{i\nsim j} d_i+d_j)$. A couple of new upper and lower bounds for $M_1(G)$, as well as a new upper bound for $\overline{M}_1(G)$, are obtained. }, keywords = {Topological indices,first Zagreb index,first Zagreb coindex}, url = {http://comb-opt.azaruniv.ac.ir/article_14047.html}, eprint = {http://comb-opt.azaruniv.ac.ir/article_14047_6dacca4d77087d8b3967a894b7a7d103.pdf} }
