Abstract

In this article, some upper and lower bounds for the first and the second Zagreb indices of an arbitrary tree in terms of its order and double Roman domination number $\gamma_{dR}$, (depending on whether $\gamma_{dR}$ is odd or even), are stated. Also, all extremal trees attaining equality are characterized.
