On First Zagreb index, \({\tau}\)-path-coverable and \({\tau}\)-edge-Hamiltonian graphs

Given a connected graph \(H\), its first Zagreb index \(M_{1}(H)\) is equal to the sum of squares of the degrees of all vertices in \(H\). In this paper, we give a best possible lower bound on \(M_{1}(H)\) that guarantees \(H\) is \(\tau\)-path-coverable and \(\tau\)-edge-Hamiltonian, respectively. Our research supplies a continuation of the results presented by Feng et al. (2017).
