Abstract
We determine the maximum values of the reverse Wiener indices of the unicyclic graphs with given cycle length, number of pendent vertices and maximum degree, respectively, and characterize the extremal graphs. We also determine the unicyclic graphs of given cycle length and diameter with minimum Wiener index.
