Abstract
For any integer k ≥ 2,a graph G is called k-leaf-connected if|V(G)|≥ k+1 and given any subset S C V(G)with|S|=k,G always has a spanning tree T such that S is precisely the set of leaves of T.In this paper,we prove best possible sufficient conditions for a graph to be k-leaf-connected in terms of the first Zagreb index,second Zagreb index and hyper-Zagreb index of G or its complement.
