Relations Between the Product- and Sum-connectivity Indices

Fourth order and fourth sum connectivity indices of tetrathiafulvalene dendrimers

The m-order connectivity index (G) m of a graph G is     1 2 1 1 2 1 ... ... 1 ( ) i i im m v v v i i i m d d d  G where 1 2 1 ... i i im d d d  runs over all paths of length m in G and i d denotes the degree of vertex i v . Also,        1 2 1 1 2 1 ... ... 1 ( ) i i im m v v v i i i ms d d d X G is its m-sum connectivity index. A dendrimer is an artificially manufactured or synth...

Some new bounds on the general sum--connectivity index

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connectedgraph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and sequence of vertex degrees$d_1 ge d_2 ge cdots ge d_n>0$, $d_i=d(v_i)$, where $v_iin V$. With $isim j$ we denote adjacency ofvertices $v_i$ and $v_j$. The generalsum--connectivity index of graph is defined as $chi_{alpha}(G)=sum_{isim j}(d_i+d_j)^{alpha}$, where $alpha$ is an arbitrary real<b...

Comparison of Topological Indices Based on Iterated ‘Sum’ versus ‘Product’ Operations

The Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index is a first-generation topological index (TI) based on sums over all edges between numbers of edges closer to one endpoint and numbers of edges closer to the other endpoint. Edges at equal distances from the two endpoints are ignored. An analogous definition is valid for the Wiener index W, with the difference that sums are replaced by products. A few other TIs are d...

On the Relationship between Sum-Product Networks and Bayesian Networks

Sum-Product Networks (SPNs), which are probabilistic inference machines, have attracted a lot of interests in recent years. They have a wide range of applications, including but not limited to activity modeling, language modeling and speech modeling. Despite their practical applications and popularity, little research has been done in understanding what is the connection and difference between ...
