Popis: Let G be a simple graph. We say that G is a chemical graph if G is connected and the degree di ≤ 4 for every vertex i. We consider the connectivity index 1χ(G) of a chemical graph G. We use some graph theoretic constructions to find bounds for 1χ(G) which depend only on the number of vertices, the ramification index, and the cyclomatic number of the graph G. The results are related to the problem of graph reconstruction from a collection of graph invariants.
