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...

A vertex-colored graph G is rainbow vertex-connected if two vertices are connected by a path whose internal vertices have distinct colors. The rainbow vertex-connection number of a connected graph G, denoted by rvc(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed in order to make G rainbow vertex-connected. If for every pair u, v of distinct vertices, G contains a vertex-rainbow u−v geodesi...

We show that problems that have finite integer index and satisfy a requirement we call treewidth-bounding admit linear kernels on the class of H-topological-minor free graphs, for an arbitrary fixed graph H . This builds on earlier results by Bodlaender et al. on graphs of bounded genus [2] and by Fomin et al. on H-minor-free graphs [9]. Our framework encompasses several problems, the prominent...

the first zagreb index, $m_1(g)$, and second zagreb index, $m_2(g)$, of the graph $g$ is defined as $m_{1}(g)=sum_{vin v(g)}d^{2}(v)$ and $m_{2}(g)=sum_{e=uvin e(g)}d(u)d(v),$ where $d(u)$ denotes the degree of vertex $u$. in this paper, the firstand second maximum values of the first and second zagreb indicesin the class of all $n-$vertex tetracyclic graphs are presented.

Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$. A double Roman dominating function (DRDF) on $G$ is a function $f:Vrightarrow{0,1,2,3}$ satisfying that if $f(v)=0$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least two vertices assigned $2$ or one vertex assigned $3$ under $f$, whereas if $f(v)=1$, then the vertex $v$ must be adjacent to at least one vertex assigned $2$ or $3$. The weight of a DR...

For a given connected graph G of order v, a routing R in G is a set of v(v − 1) elementary paths specified for every ordered pair of vertices in G. The vertex (resp. edge) forwarding index of G is the maximum number of paths in R passing through any vertex (resp. edge) in G. Shahrokhi and Székely [F. Shahrokhi, L.A. Székely, Constructing integral flows in symmetric networks with application to ...

The concept of atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index was introduced in the chemical graph theory in 1998. The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index of a graph G defined as (see formula in text) where E(G) is the edge set and di is the degree of vertex v(i) of G. Very recently Graovac et al. define a new version of the ABC index as (see formula in text) where n(i) denotes the number of vertices of G w...
