Abstract

Let \(G\) be a graph with \(n\) vertices. The second Zagreb energy of graph \(G\) is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the second Zagreb matrix of graph \(G\). In this paper, we derive the relation between the second Zagreb matrix and the adjacency matrix of graph \(G\) and derive the new upper bound for the second Zagreb energy in the context of trace. We also derive the second Zagreb energy of \(m-\)splitting graph and \(m-\)shadow graph of a graph.

Keywords:

Second Zagreb energy; \(m-\)splitting graph; \(m-\)shadow graph; regular graph
