Abstract

The Sombor index of the graph G is a degree based topological index, defined as SO=uvE(G)du2+dv2, where du is the degree of the vertex u, and E(G) is the edge set of G. Bounds on SO are established in terms of graph energy, size of minimum vertex cover, matching number, and induced matching number.
