Abstract
7
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the upper and lower bounds
8
on Harary energy and Harary Estrada index on Strongly Quotient Graphs (SQG).
9
The notion of SQG was introduced by Adiga et al. in 2007. In addition, we have
10
established some relations between the Harary Estrada index and the Harary
11
energy of SQG.

1 Introduction
13
LetG(V; E)be a …nite undirected simple connected(n; m)graph with vertex setV =
14
V(G), edge set E = E(G), n = jVj and m = jEj. The vertices ofG are labeled by
15
v1; v2; :::; vn: The Harary matrixH(G) of a graph G is de…ned as a square matrix of
16
order n such asH(G) =H = h 1
dij
i
, where dij is the distance (i.e. the length of the
17
shortest path) between the vertices vi and vj in G in [4, 13]. The eigenvalues of the
18
Harary matrixH(G)are denoted as 1; 2; : : : ; nand are said to be the H-eigenvalues
19
of G. For more details on H-eigenvalues, especially on the maximum eigenvalue of
20
Harary matrix of a graph Gand spectral properties of Grefer to [7, 8, 15]. It can be
21
noted that the H-eigenvalues ofGare real since the Harary matrix is symmetric. The
22
Harary energy of the graphG, denoted byHE(G), is de…ned as
23
HE(G) = Xn i=1

24
Recently, there has been tremendous research activity in graph energy, as Harary
25
energy inevitably arouses the interest of chemists. Some lower and upper bounds for
26
Harary energy of connected (n; m)-graphs were obtained in [12]. The diameter of the
27
graphGis the maximum distance between any two vertices ofG, denoted bydiam(G).
28
The name Estrada index of the graph G was introduced in [9] which has an im-
29
portant role in Chemistry and Physics and there exists a vast literature that studies

this special index. Recently, the bounds of distance Estrada index and Harary Estrada
31

33
During the past forty years or so, an enormous amount of research work has been done
34
on graph labeling, where the vertices are assigned values subject to certain conditions.
35
These interesting problems have been motivated by practical problems. Recently, Adiga
36
et al., have introduced the notion of strongly quotient graphs and studied these type
37
of graphs [2]. They derived an explicit formula for the maximum number of edges in
38
a strongly quotient graph of order n. In [1], Adiga and Zaferani have established that
39
the clique number and chromatic number are both equal to1 + (n), where (n)is the
40
number of primes not exceedingn. Throughout this paper by a labeling f of a graph
41
Gof ordern, we mean an injective mapping
42
f :V(G)! f1;2; : : : ; ng:
43
We de…ne the quotient functionfq :E(G)!Qby
44
fq(e) =min f(v) f(w);f(w)
f(v) ifejoins v andw:
45
Note that for anye2E(G); 0< fq(e)<1:
46
A graph with n vertices is called a strongly quotient graph if its vertices can be
47
labeled by1;2; : : : ; nsuch that the quotient functionfq is injective i.e., the valuesfq(e)
48
on the edges are all distinct. For survey and detailed information of graph labeling,
49
strongly quotient graphs, properties of strongly quotient graphs refer to [1, 2, 3, 5, 6,
50
10, 14]. Throughout this paper, SQG stands for strongly quotient graph of order n
51
with maximum number of edges.
52
We have organized this paper in the following way. In section 2, two eigen values
53
for Harary matrix of SQG are obtained. In Section 3, a lower bound and two upper
54
bounds are derived for the Harary energy of SQG. In Section 4, the Harary Estrada
55
index of SQG and some better lower and upper bounds are obtained for SQG involving
56
Harary energy and several other graph invariants.

59
we have obtained two eigen values of SQG with respect to Harary matrix.

The distance matrix D(G) = [dij] of a graph G is a square matrix of ordern in
71
whichdij =d(vi; vj). In [14], R. K. Zaferani obtained two eigen values for the distance
72
matrix of SQG. We recall that the SQG is a strongly quotient graph with the maximum
73
number of edges for a …xed order. From Theorems 3.2 and 3.3 in [14], we have obtained
74
the following results for Harary matrix H(G)of SQG. The notation bacdenotes the

145
following corollary.

4 Bounds on Harary Estrada Index of SQG
156
First we recall that the Harary Estrada index [12] of the graphGis equal to Pn i=1
e i and
157
letn+ be the number of positive H-eigenvalues ofG. In this section we have obtained
158
some upper bound, lower bound for Harary Estrada index HE(G) and the relation
159
between the Harary Estrada index and Harary Energy of SQG withn >3;maximum
160
edgesm.
161
THEOREM 4.1. Let G be a Strongly Quotient graph(SQG) with n > 3 vertices

We conclude that the upper bound (5) is better than the upper bound (4) for Harary

From Theorem 4.3 and Lemma 2.2 we can give the following result.
217
COROLLARY 4.4. Let P be de…ned by (1) and jPj = : The Harary Estrada
218
index and Harary energy of SQG with n >3 vertices, maximum edgesm and let the
219

Since the functionsf(t) =et and f(t) = et t are monotonically increase in the
227
intervals ( 1;1) and (0;1) respectively, we conclude that the upper bound (8) is
228
better than the upperbound (9) for SQG withn >3vertices and maximum edgesm.
