On a Relation between Szeged and Wiener Indices of Bipartite Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hansen et. al., using the AutoGraphiX software package, conjectured that the Szeged index Sz(G) and the Wiener index W (G) of a connected bipartite graph G with n ≥ 4 vertices and m ≥ n edges, obeys the relation Sz(G) − W (G) ≥ 4n − 8. Moreover, this bound would be the best possible. This paper offers a proof to this conjecture.

Relation Between Wiener, Szeged and Detour Indices
In theoretical chemistry, molecular structure descriptors are used to compute properties of chemical compounds. Among them Wiener, Szeged and detour indices play significant roles in anticipating chemical phenomena. In the present paper, we study these topological indices with respect to their difference number.
متن کاملThe quotients between the (revised) Szeged index and Wiener index of graphs
Let Sz(G), Sz(G) and W (G) be the Szeged index, revised Szeged index and Wiener index of a graph G. In this paper, the graphs with the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh largest Wiener indices among all unicyclic graphs of order n > 10 are characterized; and the graphs with the first, second, third, and fourth largest Wiener indices among all bicyclic graphs are identified. Based on these results...
متن کاملThe Topological Indices of some Dendrimer Graphs
In this paper the Wiener and hyper Wiener index of two kinds of dendrimer graphs are determined. Using the Wiener index formula, the Szeged, Schultz, PI and Gutman indices of these graphs are also determined.
متن کاملSome results on vertex-edge Wiener polynomials and indices of graphs
The vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of a simple connected graph are defined based on the distances between vertices and edges of that graph. The first derivative of these polynomials at one are called the vertex-edge Wiener indices. In this paper, we express some basic properties of the first and second vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of simple connected graphs and compare the first and second ve...
متن کاملOn the difference between the Szeged and the Wiener index
We prove a conjecture of Nadjafi-Arani et al. on the difference between the Szeged and the Wiener index of a graph (M. J. Nadjafi-Arani, H. Khodashenas, A. R. Ashrafi: Graphs whose Szeged and Wiener numbers differ by 4 and 5, Math. Comput. Modelling 55 (2012), 1644–1648). Namely, if G is a 2-connected non-complete graph on n vertices, then Sz (G) −W (G) ≥ 2n − 6. Furthermore, the equality is ob...
