The classical first and second Zagreb indices of a graph G are defined as M-1(G) = Sigma(v is an element of V) d(G)(v)(2) and M-2(G) = Sigma(uv is an element of E(G)) d(G)(u) d(G)(V), where d(G)(v) is the degree of the vertex v of graph G. Recently, Furtula et al. (2014) studied the difference between the Zagreb indices and mentioned a problem to characterize the graphs for which M-1(G) > M-2 (G) or M-1(G) < M-2 (G) or M-1(G) = M-2 (G). In this paper we completely solve this problem. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
