The vertex PI index PI(G) = ∑ xy∈E(G)[nxy(x) + nxy(y)] is a distance-based molecular structure descriptor, where nxy(x) denotes the number of vertices which are closer to the vertex x than to the vertex y and which has been the considerable research in computational chemistry dating back to Harold Wiener in 1947. A connected graph is a cactus if any two of its cycles have at most one common ver...

Organic compounds containing heteroatoms or multiple bonds can be conveniently represented as vertex- and edge-weighted molecular graphs. These atom and bond parameters can be computed for any organic compound with two parameter sets that we have recently defined, namely, the relative electronegativity X and the relative covalent radius Y weighting schemes. Structural descriptors computed with ...

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) ...

In this paper, we study both concepts of geodetic dominatingand edge geodetic dominating sets and derive some tight upper bounds onthe edge geodetic and the edge geodetic domination numbers. We also obtainattainable upper bounds on the maximum number of elements in a partitionof a vertex set of a connected graph into geodetic sets, edge geodetic sets,geodetic domin...

The authors discovered a dual behaviour of two tree indices, the Wiener index and the number of subtrees, for a number of extremal problems [Discrete Appl. Math. 155 (3) 2006, 374–385; Adv. Appl. Math. 34 (2005), 138–155]. Barefoot, Entringer and Székely [Discrete Appl. Math. 80(1997), 37–56] determined extremal values of σT (w)/σT (u), σT (w)/σT (v), σ(T )/σT (v), and σ(T )/σT (w), where T is ...

Let G be a graph. The distance d(u,v) between the vertices u and v of the graph G is equal to the length of a shortest path that connects u and v. The Wiener index W(G) is the sum of all distances between vertices of G, whereas the hyper-Wiener index WW(G) is defined as WW(G)=12W(G)+12@?"{"u","v"}"@?"V"("G")d (u,v)^2. In this paper the hyper-Wiener indices of the Cartesian product, composition,...

Given a simple connected undirected graph G = (V , E), the Wiener index W (G) of G is defined as half the sum of the distances d(u, v) between all pairs of vertices u, v of G, where d(u, v) denotes the distance (the number of edges on a shortest path between u and v) between u, v in G. We obtain an expression for W (G), where G is a binomial tree. For Fibonacci trees and binary Fibonacci trees ...

‎in this paper we defined the vertex removable cycle in respect of the following‎, ‎if $f$ is a class of graphs(digraphs)‎ ‎satisfying certain property‎, ‎$g in f $‎, ‎the cycle $c$ in $g$ is called vertex removable if $g-v(c)in in f $.‎ ‎the vertex removable cycles of eulerian graphs are studied‎. ‎we also characterize the edge removable cycles of regular‎ ‎graphs(digraphs).‎

in theoretical chemistry, molecular structure descriptors are used to compute properties of chemical compounds. among them wiener, szeged and detour indices play significant roles in anticipating chemical phenomena. in the present paper, we study these topological indices with respect to their difference number.

With any (not necessarily proper) edge k-colouring γ : E(G) −→ {1, . . . , k} of a graph G, one can associate a vertex colouring σγ given by σγ(v) = ∑ e∋v γ(e). A neighbour-sumdistinguishing edge k-colouring is an edge colouring whose associated vertex colouring is proper. The neighbour-sum-distinguishing index of a graph G is then the smallest k for which G admits a neighbour-sum-distinguishin...
