On the Harary Index of Cacti
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Harary index is defined as the sum of reciprocals of distances between all pairs of vertices of a connected graph. A connected graph G is a cactus if any two of its cycles have at most one common vertex. Let G (n, r) be the set of cacti of order n and with r cycles, ξ(2n, r) the set of cacti of order 2n with a perfect matching and r cycles. In this paper, we give the sharp upper bounds of the Harary index of cacti among G (n, r) and ξ(2n, r), respectively, and characterize the corresponding extremal cactus.

A note on the zeroth-order general randić index of cacti and polyomino chains
The present note is devoted to establish some extremal results for the zeroth-order general Randi'{c} index of cacti, characterize the extremal polyomino chains with respect to the aforementioned index, and hence to generalize two already reported results.
متن کاملOn generalized atom-bond connectivity index of cacti
The generalized atom-bond connectivity index of a graph G is denoted by ABCa(G) and defined as the sum of weights ((d(u)+d(v)-2)/d(u)d(v))aa$ over all edges uv∊G. A cactus is a graph in which any two cycles have at most one common vertex. In this paper, we compute sharp bounds for ABCa index for cacti of order $n$ ...
متن کاملNordhaus-Gaddum type results for the Harary index of graphs
The emph{Harary index} $H(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is defined as $H(G)=sum_{u,vin V(G)}frac{1}{d_G(u,v)}$ where $d_G(u,v)$ is the distance between vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$. The Steiner distance in a graph, introduced by Chartrand et al. in 1989, is a natural generalization of the concept of classical graph distance. For a connected graph $G$ of order at least $2$ ...
متن کاملChain hexagonal cacti: extremal with respect to the eccentric connectivity index
In this paper we present explicit formulas for the eccentric connectivity index of three classes of chain hexagonal cacti. Further, it is shown that the extremal chain hexagonal cacti with respect to the eccentric connectivity index belong to one of the considered types. Some open problems and possible directions of further research are mentioned in the concluding section.
متن کاملThree-center Harary index and its applications
The Harary index H can be viewed as a molecular structure descriptor composed of increments representing interactions between pairs of atoms, such that their magnitude decreases with the increasing distance between the respective two atoms. A generalization of the Harary index, denoted by Hk, is achieved by employing the Steiner-type distance between k-tuples of atoms. We show that the linear c...
