Modified Narumi – Katayama Index

The Narumi–Katayama index of a graph G is equal to the product of the degrees of the vertices of G. In this paper we consider a new version of the Narumi– Katayama index in which each vertex degree d is multiplied d times. We characterize the graphs extremal w.r.t. this new topological index.
