A new counting polynomial, called the “Omega” Ω(G, x) polynomial, is proposed on the ground of quasi-orthogonal cut “qoc” edge strips in a bipartite lattice. Within a qoc not all cut edges are necessarily orthogonal, meaning not all are pairwise codistant. Two topological indices: CI (Cluj-Ilmenau), eventually equal to the well-known PI index, in planar, bipartite graphs and IΩ are defined on t...
