A Note on the Estrada Index of the <i>A</i><sub>α</sub>-Matrix

Let <i>G</i> be a graph on <i>n</i> vertices. The Estrada index of <i>G</i> is an invariant that is calculated from the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph. V. Nikiforov studied hybrids of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/199...
