Sufficient Conditions for a Graph to Be l-Connected, l-Deficient, l-Hamiltonian and l(-)-Independent in Terms of the Forgotten Topological Index

The forgotten topological index of a (molecule) graph is the sum of cubes of all its vertex degrees, which plays a significant role in measuring the branching of the carbon atom skeleton. It is meaningful and difficult to explore sufficient conditions for a given graph keeping certain properties in graph theory. In this paper, we mainly explore sufficient conditions in terms of the forgotten topological index for a graph to be l-connected, l-deficient, l-Hamiltonian and l(-)-independent, respectively. The conditions cannot be dropped.
