Abstract

Let $G$ be a graph containing no isolated vertices. For the graph $G$, its modified first Zagreb index is defined as the sum of reciprocals of squares of vertex degrees of $G$. This article provides some new bounds on the modified first Zagreb index of $G$ in terms of some other well-known graph invariants of $G$. From the obtained bounds, several known results follow directly.
