چکیده

The kth power of a graph G, denoted by Gk , is a graph with the same vertex set as G such that two vertices are adjacent in Gk if and only if their distance is at most k in G. The Wiener index is a distance-based topological index defined as the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices in a graph. In this note, we give the bounds on the Wiener index of the graph Gk . The Nordhaus–Gaddum-type inequality for the Wiener index of the graph Gk is also presented. c © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Peripheral Wiener Index of a Graph

The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ is the maximum distance between $v$ and anyother vertex. A vertex with maximum eccentricity is called a peripheral vertex.The peripheral Wiener index $ PW(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum ofthe distances between all pairs of peripheral vertices of $G.$ In this paper, weinitiate the study of the peripheral Wiener index and we investigate its basicproperti...

MORE ON EDGE HYPER WIENER INDEX OF GRAPHS

‎Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge‎ ‎set E(G)‎. ‎The (first) edge-hyper Wiener index of the graph G is defined as‎: ‎$$WW_{e}(G)=sum_{{f,g}subseteq E(G)}(d_{e}(f,g|G)+d_{e}^{2}(f,g|G))=frac{1}{2}sum_{fin E(G)}(d_{e}(f|G)+d^{2}_{e}(f|G)),$$‎ ‎where de(f,g|G) denotes the distance between the edges f=xy and g=uv in E(G) and de(f|G)=∑g€(G)de(f,g|G). ‎In thi...

Some New Results On the Hosoya Polynomial of Graph Operations

The Wiener index is a graph invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. In addition to that a generating function, which was called the Wiener polynomial, who’s derivate is a q-analog of the Wiener index was defined. In an article, Sagan, Yeh and Zhang in [The Wiener Polynomial of a graph, Int. J. Quantun Chem., 60 (1996), 959969] attained what graph operations do to the Wiene...

The 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.

Wiener Index of Graphs in Terms of Eccentricities

The Wiener index W(G) of a connected graph G is defined as the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices of G. The eccentricity of a vertex v in G is the distance to a vertex farthest from v. In this paper we obtain the Wiener index of a graph in terms of eccentricities. Further we extend these results to the self-centered graphs.
