Abstract

Using the AutoGraphiX 2 system (AGX2), we study relations between graph invariants of the form lb_n ≤ R ⊕ i ≤ ub_n where R denotes the Randić index of a graph G = (V, E), i another invariant among matching number μ and the index (or the maximum eigenvalue) λ₁, ⊕ denotes one of the four operations +, -, x, /, while lb_n and ub_n lower and upper bounding functions of the order n of the graph considered which are tight for all n (except possibly very small values due to border effects). Conjectures are obtained in 14 out of 16 cases, 6 of which are proved automatically, 7 are proved by hand and one remains open.
