Abstract

The energy of a vertex in a graph plays a very important role in terms of its contribution to the total energy of a graph, a significant graph invariant in the field of chemical graph theory. Particularly, the computation of vertex energies of various types of graphs in general and integral graphs has been carried out in recent studies. Working in this direction, we determine the vertex energy of all connected non-regular non-bipartite integral graphs with maximum vertex degree four in this article.
