Wang, Wen-Huan; Xu, Wei-Wei Graphs with the maximal Estrada indices. (English) Zbl 1292.05181 Linear Algebra Appl. 446, 314-328 (2014). Summary: Two new transformations are proposed to compare the Estrada indices between two graphs. Let \({\Psi}_{n,m}\) be the set of the \((n,m)\)-graphs, where \(n\) and \(m\) are the numbers of vertices and edges, respectively. The graphs with the maximal Estrada indices in \({\Psi}_{n,m}\) are deduced by the new method for three cases, namely unicyclic and bipartite unicyclic graphs \((m=n)\), bicyclic graphs \((m=n+1)\), and the \((n,m)\)-graphs without even cycles \((n+1 \leqslant m\leqslant 3(n-1)/2)\).
