چکیده

Let G be a graph. The Wiener index of G, W (G), is defined as the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices of G. Denote by L i (G) its i-iterated line graph. In the talk, we will consider the equation W (L i (T)) = W (T) where T is a tree and i ≥ 1.

On a conjecture about Wiener index in iterated line graphs of trees

Let G be a graph. Denote by L(G) its i-iterated line graph and denote by W (G) its Wiener index. There is a conjecture which claims that there exists no nontrivial tree T and i ≥ 3, such that W (L(T )) = W (T ), see [5]. We prove this conjecture for trees which are not homeomorphic to the claw K1,3 and the graph of letter H.

Wiener index of iterated line graphs of trees homeomorphic to

Let G be a graph. Denote by L(G) its i-iterated line graph and denote by W (G) its Wiener index. Dobrynin, Entringer and Gutman stated the following problem: Does there exist a non-trivial tree T and i ≥ 3 such that W (L(T )) = W (T )? In a series of five papers we solve this problem. In a previous paper we proved that W (L(T )) > W (T ) for every tree T that is not homeomorphic to a path, claw...

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...

Wiener index in iterated line graphs

For a graph G, denote by L i (G) its i-iterated line graph and denote by W (G) its Wiener index. We prove that the function W (L i (G)) is convex in variable i. Moreover, this function is strictly convex if G is different from a path, a claw K 1,3 and a cycle. As an application we prove that W (L i (T)) = W (T) for every i ≥ 3 if T is a tree in which no leaf is adjacent to a vertex of degree 2,...

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.
