Abstract

‎For a graph $G$ with edge set $E(G)$‎, ‎the multiplicative second Zagreb index of $G$ is defined as‎ ‎$\Pi_2(G)=\Pi_{uv\in E(G)}[d_G(u)d_G(v)]$‎, ‎where $d_G(v)$ is the degree of vertex $v$ in $G$‎.
‎In this paper‎, ‎we identify the eighth class of trees‎, ‎with the first through eighth smallest multiplicative second Zagreb indeces among all trees of order $n\geq 14$‎.
