چکیده

An explicit, non-recursive formula for the Wiener index of any given benzenoid chain is derived, greatly speeding up calculations and rendering it manually manageable, through a novel envisioning of chains as ternary strings. Previous results are encompassed and two completely new and useful ones are obtained, a formula to determine Wiener indices of benzenoid chains in periodic patterns, and another to estimate errors in the Wiener index induced by errors or indeterminate links in the graph.

Hosoya polynomials of random benzenoid chains

Let $G$ be a molecular graph with vertex set $V(G)$, $d_G(u, v)$ the topological distance between vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The Hosoya polynomial $H(G, x)$ of $G$ is a polynomial $sumlimits_{{u, v}subseteq V(G)}x^{d_G(u, v)}$ in variable $x$. In this paper, we obtain an explicit analytical expression for the expected value of the Hosoya polynomial of a random benzenoid chain with $n$ hexagon...

Generalized Wiener Indices in Hexagonal Chains

The Wiener Index, or the Wiener Number, also known as the “sum of distances” of a connected graph, is one of the quantities associated with a molecular graph that correlates nicely to physical and chemical properties, and has been studied in depth. An index proposed by Schultz is shown to be related to the Wiener Index for trees, and Ivan Gutman proposed a modification of the Schultz index with...

Relation between Wiener–type topological indices of benzenoid molecules

The distance d(u, v|G) between the vertices u and v of a molecular graph G is the length of a shortest u, v-path. We consider a class of Wiener–type topological indices Wλ(G) , defined as the sum of the terms d(u, v|G) λ over all pairs of vertices of G . Several special cases of Wλ(G) , namely for λ = +1 (the original Wiener number) as well as for λ = −2,−1,+1/2,+2 and +3 , were previously stud...

The Wiener Index and the Szeged Index of Benzenoid Systems in Linear Time

Distance properties of molecular graphs form an important topic in chemical graph theory.1 To justify this statement just recall the famous Wiener index which is also known as the Wiener number. This index is the first2 but also one of the most important topological indices of chemical graphs. Its research is still very active; see recent reviews3,4 and several new results in a volume5 dedicate...
