Abstract
The classical results by McClelland (1971) and Koolen & Moluton (2001) provide upper bounds for graph energy in terms of number of vertices (\( n \)) and number of edges (\( m \)). Recently, in MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem.79 (2018) and 91 (2024), new such \( (n,m) \)-type bounds were communicated. In this paper, we analyze these bounds and find that one is identical to the Koolen-Moulton bound, whereas the other is inferior to it.
