On Wiener polarity index of bicyclic networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complex networks are ubiquitous in biological, physical and social sciences. Network robustness research aims at finding a measure to quantify network robustness. A number of Wiener type indices have recently been incorporated as distance-based descriptors of complex networks. Wiener type indices are known to depend both on the network's number of nodes and topology. The Wiener polarity index is also related to the cluster coefficient of networks. In this paper, based on some graph transformations, we determine the sharp upper bound of the Wiener polarity index among all bicyclic networks. These bounds help to understand the underlying quantitative graph measures in depth.

متن کاملThe Generalized Wiener Polarity Index of some Graph Operations
Let G be a simple connected graph. The generalized polarity Wiener index of G is defined as the number of unordered pairs of vertices of G whose distance is k. Some formulas are obtained for computing the generalized polarity Wiener index of the Cartesian product and the tensor product of graphs in this article.

متن کاملOn the Wiener Polarity Index∗
The Wiener polarity indexWP (G) of a graph G is the number of unordered pairs of vertices {u, v} of G such that the distance of u and v is equal to 3. In this paper, we obtain the relation between Wiener polarity index and Zegreb indices, and the relation between Wiener polarity index and Wiener index (resp. hyper-Wiener index). Moreover, we determine the second smallest Wiener polarity index t...
متن کاملOn the harmonic index of bicyclic graphs
The harmonic index of a graph $G$, denoted by $H(G)$, is defined asthe sum of weights $2/[d(u)+d(v)]$ over all edges $uv$ of $G$, where$d(u)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $u$. Hu and Zhou [Y. Hu and X. Zhou, WSEAS Trans. Math. {bf 12} (2013) 716--726] proved that for any bicyclic graph $G$ of order $ngeq 4$, $H(G)le frac{n}{2}-frac{1}{15}$ and characterize all extremal bicyclic graphs.In this...
