Description
Summary:Let GG be a simple connected graph on nn vertices. The degree of a vertex v∈V(G)v\in V\left(G), denoted by dv{d}_{v}, is the number of edges incident with vv and the distance between any two vertices u,v∈V(G)u,v\in V\left(G), denoted by duv{d}_{uv}, is defined as the length of the shortest path from uu to vv. The distance matrix of GG, denoted by, D(G)D\left(G), is defined as D(G)=duvD\left(G)={d}_{uv}. We now define and investigate the degree distance matrix of a connected graph GG, defined as MDD(G)=((du+dv)duv)u,v∈V(G){M}_{DD}\left(G)={\left(\left({d}_{u}+{d}_{v}){d}_{uv})}_{u,v\in V\left(G)}. In this article, first, we derive bounds for the largest eigenvalue of the degree distance matrix. Then, we establish some bounds for the energy of the degree distance matrix of GG.
