in this paper we present explicit formulas for the eccentric connectivity index of three classesof chain hexagonal cacti. further, it is shown that the extremal chain hexagonal cacti withrespect to the eccentric connectivity index belong to one of the considered types. some openproblems and possible directions of further research are mentioned in the concluding section.

the sadhana index (sd) is a newly introduced cyclic index. efficient formulae for calculatingthe sd (sadhana) index of linear phenylenes are given and a simple relation is establishedbetween the sd index of phenylenes and of the corresponding hexagonal sequences.

In this paper we present explicit formulas for the eccentric connectivity index of three classes of chain hexagonal cacti. Further, it is shown that the extremal chain hexagonal cacti with respect to the eccentric connectivity index belong to one of the considered types. Some open problems and possible directions of further research are mentioned in the concluding section.

The Wiener number of a connected graph is equal to the sum of distances between all pairs of its vertices. A graph formed by a row of n hexagonal cells is called an n-hexagonal chain. Wiener number of an n x m hexagonal rectangle was found by the authors. An n x m hexagonal jagged-rectangle whose shape forms a rectangle and the number of hexagonal cells in each chain alternate between n and n 1...

The Wiener number of a molecular graph, or more generally of a connected graph, is equal to the sum of distances between all pairs of its vertices. A graph formed by a hexagon in the centre, surrounded by n rings of hexagonal cells, is called an n-Hexagonal net. A graph formed by a series of n hexagonal cells is called an n-Hexagonal chain. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the Wiener numb...

Eccentric distance sum (EDS), which can predict biological and physical properties, is a topological index based on the eccentricity of a graph. In this paper we characterize the chain hexagonal cactus with the minimal and the maximal eccentric distance sum among all chain hexagonal cacti of length n, respectively. Moreover, we present exact formulas for EDS of two types of hexagonal cacti.

Double hexagonal chains” can be considered as benzenoids constructed by successive fusions of successive naphthalenes along a zig-zag sequence of triples of edges as appear on opposite sides of each naphthalene unit. In this paper, we discuss the numbers of k-matchings and k-independent sets of double hexagonal chains, as well as Hosoya indices and Merrifield–Simmons indices, and obtain some ex...

H = S v i S v i + 1 ) y y corresponds to what is called the XY chain. The hexagonal compound PrCl3 provides a good approximation to the 1-D XY chain. The structure of PrCl3 is illustrated in Figure 1. Nearest neighbor Pr ions form chains along the hexagonal axis. Each Pr ion has nine close Cl neighbors which form three equilateral triangles; one triangle lies in the plane perpendicular to the h...

Comparison theorems on resistance distances and Kirchhoff indices of the so-called S& T -isomer graphs are established. Then these results are applied to compare Kirchhoff indices of hexagonal chains, showing that the straight chain is the unique chain with maximum Kirchhoff index, whereas the minimum Kirchhoff index is achieved only when the hexagonal chain is an ‘‘all-kink’’ chain. © 2014 Els...

based on the {s+, i-} pathway, the concentration of surfactant and surface charge density of silanolate groups control the phase transition from lamellar, to hexagonal through cubic form. the high surface charge density of silanolate groups was observed for the lamellar phase. with decrease of molar concentration of surfactant on the gel, the yield of reaction decreases and the stability of mes...
