Soviet Science

Ten years ago Dr. Belding brought out the first edition of this text and in the present volume follows the original plan of presenting "the protozoan, helminthic, and arthropod parasites of man, and the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the diseases they produce."

These methods—which combine graph theory, statistics and computer science—are said to allow quick, virtually automated, conversion of association to causation. The algori...

On leap Zagreb indices of graphs

The first and second Zagreb indices of a graph are equal, respectively, to the sum of squares of the vertex degrees, and the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices. We now consider analogous graph invariants, based on the second degrees of vertices (number of their second neighbors), called leap Zagreb indices. A number of their basic properties is established.
