Abstract

The Hosoya index of a graph is defined by the total number of the matchings of the graph. In this paper, we determine the maximum Hosoya index of unicyclic graphs with n vertices and diameter 3 or 4. Our results somewhat answer a question proposed by Wagner and Gutman in 2010 for unicyclic graphs with small diameter.
