Effect of edge and vertex addition on Albertson and Bell indices

Abstract

Topological graph indices have been of great interest in the research of several properties of chemical substances as it is possible to obtain these properties only by using mathematical calculations. The irregularity indices are the ones to determine the degree of irregularity of a graph. Albertson and Bell indices are two of them. Edge and vertex deletion and addition are important and useful methods in calculating several properties of a given graph. In this paper, the effects of adding a new edge or a new vertex to a graph on the Albertson and Bell indices are determined.
