摘要
The Merrifield-Simmons index sigma(G) of a 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. A tree is called r-leave tree if it contains r vertices with degree one. In this paper, we obtain the smallest Merrifield-Simmons index among all trees with n vertices and exactly six leaves, and characterize the corresponding extremal graph.
