The concept of geometric-arithmetic index was introduced in the chemical graph theory recently, but it has shown to be useful. The aim of this paper is to obtain new inequalities involving the geometric-arithmetic index $GA_1$ and characterize graphs extremal with respect to them. Besides, we prove inequalities involving the geometric-arithmetic index of line graphs.
For each k > 0 we find an explicit function f_k such that the topology of S inside the ball B(p,r) is `bounded' by f_k(r) for every complete Riemannian surface (compact or noncompact) with K\geq -k^2, every point p on the surface, and every r. Using this result, we obtain a characterization (simple to check in practical cases) of the Gromov hyperbolicity of a Riemann surface S* (with its own Poincaré metric) obtained by deleting from one original surface S any uniformly separated union of continua and isolated points.
