Abstract

The matching energy is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the zeros
of the matching polynomial of a graph, which was firstly proposed by Gutman and Wagner
(The matching energy of a graph, Discrete Appl. Math. 2012 (160): 2177õ2187). And
they showed that the complete graph Kn had maximum matching energy in all graphs on
n vertices. In this paper, among all graphs on n vertices, the graphs with i-th maximal
matching energy are completely characterized, where i = 2, 3, . . . , 16.

Key words： matching polynomial; matching energy; Hosoya index
