Abstract
For a real number , the general sum-connectivity index of a graph is defined as , where denote the degree of a vertex in .
In Chen (2023), the author present the lower bounds for in terms of for and , but the lower bounds are not the sharp. In the paper, we give an improvement
of the lower bounds for , i.e., and characterize
the extremal graphs. In addition, for , we present a small improvement on two special cases.
