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 $2$ and $ssubseteq v(g)$, th...

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 $n geq ‎4$ vertices and $m geq n$ edges‎, ‎obeys the relation‎ ‎$sz(g)-w(g) geq 4n-8$‎. ‎moreover‎, ‎this bound would be the best possible‎. ‎this paper offers a proof to this conjecture‎.

let $g$ be a simple connected graph. the edge-wiener index $w_e(g)$ is the sum of all distances between edges in $g$, whereas the hyper edge-wiener index $ww_e(g)$ is defined as {footnotesize $w{w_e}(g) = {frac{1}{2}}{w_e}(g) + {frac{1}{2}} {w_e^{2}}(g)$}, where {footnotesize $ {w_e^{2}}(g)=sumlimits_{left{ {f,g} right}subseteq e(g)} {d_e^2(f,g)}$}. in this paper, we present explicit formula fo...

mathematical chemistry is a branch of theoretical chemistry for discussion and prediction of the molecular structure using mathematical methods without necessarily referring to quantum mechanics. in theoretical chemistry, distance-based molecular structure descriptors are used for modeling physical, pharmacologic, biological and other properties of chemical compounds. the wiener polarity index ...

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...

in this paper, the degree distance and the gutman index of the corona product of two graphs are determined. using the results obtained, the exact degree distance and gutman index of certain classes of graphs are computed.

the $k$-th semi total point graph $r^k(g)$ of a graph $g$, is a graph obtained from $g$ by adding $k$ vertices corresponding to each edge and connecting them to endpoint of edge considered. in this paper, we obtain formulae for the resistance distance and kirchhoff index of $r^k(g)$.

the reciprocal degree distance (rdd)‎, ‎defined for a connected graph $g$ as vertex-degree-weighted sum of the reciprocal distances‎, ‎that is‎, ‎$rdd(g) =sumlimits_{u,vin v(g)}frac{d_g(u)‎ + ‎d_g(v)}{d_g(u,v)}.$ the reciprocal degree distance is a weight version of the harary index‎, ‎just as the degree distance is a weight version of the wiener index‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we present exact formu...

let $g$ be an $(n,m)$-graph. we say that $g$ has property $(ast)$if for every pair of its adjacent vertices $x$ and $y$, thereexists a vertex $z$, such that $z$ is not adjacentto either $x$ or $y$. if the graph $g$ has property $(ast)$, thenits complement $overline g$ is connected, has diameter 2, and itswiener index is equal to $binom{n}{2}+m$, i.e., the wiener indexis insensitive of any other...

the vertex-edge wiener index of a simple connected graph g is defined as the sum of distances between vertices and edges of g. two possible distances d_1(u,e|g) and d_2(u,e|g) between a vertex u and an edge e of g were considered in the literature and according to them, the corresponding vertex-edge wiener indices w_{ve_1}(g) and w_{ve_2}(g) were introduced. in this paper, we present exact form...
