Abstract

For a real number β, the general sum-connectivity index χβ(G) of a graph G is defined as χβ(G)=xyE(G)(dG(x)+dG(y))β, where d(x) denote the degree of a vertex x in G. In Chen (2023), the author present the lower bounds for χβ(L(G)) in terms of χβ(G) for β0 and β<0, but the lower bounds are not the sharp. In the paper, we give an improvement of the lower bounds for β0, i.e., χβ(L(G)){χβ(G),if δ(G)2,2(1+2Δ+3)βχβ(G),if δ(G)3, and characterize the extremal graphs. In addition, for β<0, we present a small improvement on two special cases.
