The Balaban index of a connected graph G is defined as J(G) = |E(G)| μ+ 1 ∑ e=uv∈E(G) 1 √ DG(u)DG(v) , and the Sum-Balaban index is defined as SJ(G) = |E(G)| μ+ 1 ∑ e=uv∈E(G) 1 √ DG(u)+DG(v) , where DG(u) = ∑ w∈V (G) dG(u,w), and μ is the cyclomatic number of G. In this paper, the unicyclic graphs with the maximum Balaban index and the maximum Sum-Balaban index among all unicyclic graphs on n v...

As highly discriminant distance-based topological indices, the Balaban index and the sum-Balaban index of a graph $G$ are defined as $J(G)=frac{m}{mu+1}sumlimits_{uvin E} frac{1}{sqrt{D_{G}(u)D_{G}(v)}}$ and $SJ(G)=frac{m}{mu+1}sumlimits_{uvin E} frac{1}{sqrt{D_{G}(u)+D_{G}(v)}}$, respectively, where $D_{G}(u)=sumlimits_{vin V}d(u,v)$ is the distance sum of vertex $u$ in $G$, $m$ is the n...

Balaban index and Sum-Balaban index were used in various quantitative structureproperty relationship and quantitative structure activity relationship studies. In this paper, the unicyclic graphs with the second largest Balaban index and the second largest SumBalaban index among all unicyclic graphs on n vertices are characterized, respectively.

Several different topological indices (the carbon number, the Wiener index, the Balaban dis­ tance sum connectivity index, the Randic molecular identification number, and the Randic molecular connectivity indices °/, 2%, 3̂ p and 3/ c) were employed in the correlation of the velocity of ultrasonic sound in a variety of alkane and alcohol species. Using linear regression analyses and published so...

Mosquitoes are a great threat to human health date and subject of interdisciplinary research involving scientists from many areas. Recently much attention has been put novel approaches mosquito repellent products that involve the use materials, such as carbon nanomaterials, where it is essential determine their properties. This discusses full molecular characterization nanotubes (CNTs) produced...

In this paper, we give a new proof that among all trees with n vertices, the star Sn and the path Pn have the maximal and the minimal Balaban index, respectively. This corrects some errors of proofs in [H. Dong, X. Guo, Character of graphs with extremal Balaban index, MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 63 (2010) 799–812] and [L. Sun, Bounds on the Balaban index of trees, MATCH Commun. Math. Comp...
