Minimal Estrada index of the trees without perfect matchings
Main Article Content
Abstract
Trees possessing no Kekul´e structures (i.e., perfect matching) with the minimal Estrada index are considered. Let Tn be the set of the trees having no perfect matchings with n vertices. When n is odd and n ≥ 5, the trees with the smallest and the second smallest Estrada indices among Tn are obtained. When n is even and n ≥ 6, the tree with the smallest Estrada index in Tn is deduced.
