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 a...

Hansen et. al., using the AutoGraphiX software package, conjectured that the Szeged index Sz(G) and the Wiener index W (G) of a connected bipartite graph G with n ≥ 4 vertices and m ≥ n edges, obeys the relation Sz(G) − W (G) ≥ 4n − 8. Moreover, this bound would be the best possible. This paper offers a proof to this conjecture.

We study distance-based graph invariants, such as the Wiener index, the Szeged index, and variants of these two. Relations between the various indices for trees are provided as well as formulas for line graphs and product graphs. This allows us, for instance, to establish formulas for the edge Wiener index of Hamming graphs, C4nanotubes and C4-nanotori. We also determine minimum and maximum of ...

Let Sz(G), Sz(G) and W (G) be the Szeged index, revised Szeged index and Wiener index of a graph G. In this paper, the graphs with the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh largest Wiener indices among all unicyclic graphs of order n > 10 are characterized; and the graphs with the first, second, third, and fourth largest Wiener indices among all bicyclic graphs are identified. Based on these results...

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.

The Wiener index is the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices in a connected graph. In this paper, explicit expressions for the expected value of the Wiener index of three types of random pentagonal chains (cf. Figure 1) are obtained.

The sum of distances between all the pairs of vertices in a connected graph is known as the {it Wiener index} of the graph. In this paper, we obtain the Wiener index of edge complements of stars, complete subgraphs and cycles in $K_n$.

There exists an extensive literature on Wiener sausages; see e.g. [25] and the references therein. Nevertheless, relatively little is known so far about the geometry of Wiener sausages due to the complex nature of their realizations. One possible description of the geometric structure of (sufficiently regular) subsets of R is given by their d + 1 intrinsic volumes or Minkowski functionals inclu...

a lot of research and various techniques have been devoted for finding the topologicaldescriptor wiener index, but most of them deal with only particular cases. there exist threeregular plane tessellations, composed of the same kind of regular polygons namely triangular,square, and hexagonal. using edge congestion-sum problem, we devise a method to computethe wiener index and demonstrate this m...

Abstract. A subgraph H of a graph G is gated if for every x ∈ V (G) there exists a vertex u in H such that dG(x, v) = dG(x, u) + dG(u, v) for any v ∈ V (H). The gated amalgam of graphs G1 and G2 is obtained from G1 and G2 by identifying their isomorphic gated subgraphs H1 and H2. Two theorems on the Wiener index of gated amalgams are proved. Several known results on the Wiener index of (chemica...
