Abstract
In [1], Abdo and Dimitov defined the total irregularity of a graph G=(V,E) as irrt(G)=1/2 ?u,v?V|dG(u)-dG(v)|, where dG(u) denotes the vertex degree of a vertex u ? V. In this paper, we investigate the minimal total irregularity of the connected graphs, determine the minimal, the second minimal, the third minimal total irregularity of trees, unicyclic graphs, bicyclic graphs on n vertices, and propose an open problem for further research.Keywords
