Abstract

The total reciprocal edge-eccentricity of a graph G is defined as \(\xi ^{ee}(G)=\sum _{u\in V_G}\frac{d_G(u)}{\varepsilon _G(u)}\), where \(d_G(u)\) is the degree of u and \(\varepsilon _G(u)\) is the eccentricity of u. In this paper, we first characterize the unique graph with the maximum total reciprocal edge-eccentricity among all graphs with a given number of cut vertices. Then we determine the k-connected bipartite graphs of order n with diameter d having the maximum total reciprocal edge-eccentricity. Finally, we identify the unique tree with the minimum total reciprocal edge-eccentricity among the n-vertex trees with given degree sequence.
