Abstract
In this paper we will show that the proof of Theorem 2.1 from “Complete solution to a conjecture on Randić index”, by Xueliang Li, Bolian Liu and Jianxi Liu, European Journal of Operational Research 200, Issue 1, (2010), 9–13, is not correct. They tried to prove the conjecture given by M. Aouchiche, P. Hansen in “On a conjecture about the Randić index” (Discrete Mathematics, 307 (2), 2007, 262–265), but they failed in it. The mathematical model given by them is a problem of quadratic programming which they tried to solve by wrong use of linear programming. This error invalidates all further work.
