摘要
The Merrifield - Simmons index f (G) of a (molecular) graph G is defined as the number of subsets of the vertex set, in which any two vertices are non-adjacent, i.e., the number of independent-vertex sets of G. By U(n, k) we denote the set of unicycle graphs in which the length of its unique cycle is k. In this paper, we investigate the Merrifield - Simmons index f (G) for an unicycle graph G in U(n, k). Unicycle graphs with the largest or smallest Merrifield - Simmons index are uniquely determined.
