The Hosoya indices and Merrifield-Simmons indices of graphs with connectivity at most k
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Hosoya index and the Merrifield–Simmons index of a graph are defined as the total number of the matchings (including the empty edge set) and the total number of the independent vertex sets (including the empty vertex set) of the graph, respectively. Let Vn,k be the set of connected n-vertex graphs with connectivity at most k. In this note, we characterize the extremal (maximal and minimal) graphs from Vn,k with respect to the Hosoya index and the Merrifield–Simmons index, respectively. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The Merrifield-Simmons indices and Hosoya indices of some classes of cartesian graph product
The Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph is defined as the total number of the independent sets of the graph and the Hosoya index of a graph is defined as the total number of the matchings of the graph. In this paper, we give formula for Merrifield-Simmons and Hosoya indices of some classes of cartesian product of two graphs K{_2}×H, where H is a path graph P{_n}, cyclic graph C{_n}, or star gra...

The Hosoya index of a graph is defined as the total number of the matchings, including the empty edge set, of the graph. The Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph is defined as the total number of the independent vertex sets, including the empty vertex set, of the graph. Let U(n,∆) be the set of connected unicyclic graphs of order n with maximum degree ∆. We consider the Hosoya indices and the Me...
متن کاملA Unified Approach to Extremal Cacti for Different Indices
Abstract Many chemical indices have been invented in theoretical chemistry, such as Wiener index, Merrifield-Simmons index, Hosoya index, spectral radius and Randić index, etc. The extremal trees and unicyclic graphs for these chemical indices are interested in existing literature. Let G be a molecular graph (called a cacti), which all of blocks of G are either edges or cycles. Denote G (n, r) ...

The Hosoya index Z(G) of a graph G is defined as the total number of edge independent sets of G. In this paper, we extend the research of [J. Ou, On extremal unicyclic molecular graphs with maximal Hosoya index, Discrete Appl. Math. 157 (2009) 391–397.] and [Y. Ye, X. Pan, H.

متن کاملGraphs with maximal Hosoya index and minimal Merrifield-Simmons index
For a graph G, the Hosoya index and the Merrifield-Simmons index are defined as the total number of its matchings and the total number of its independent sets, respectively. In this paper, we characterize the structure of those graphs that minimize the Merrifield-Simmons index and those that maximize the Hosoya index in two classes of simple connected graphs with n vertices: graphs with fixed m...
