On Distances in Benzenoid Systems

Distances in benzenoid systems: Further developments

In this note we present some new results on distances in benzenoids. An algorithm is presented which, for a given benzenoid system G bounded by a simple circuit 2 with n vertices, computes the Wiener index of G in O(n) time. Also we show that benzenoid systems have a convenient dismantling scheme, which can be derived by applying breadth-first search to their dual graphs. Our last result deals ...

On discriminativity of vertex-degree-based indices

A recently published paper [T. Došlić, this journal 3 (2012) 25-34] considers the Zagreb indices of benzenoid systems, and points out their low discriminativity. We show that analogous results hold for a variety of vertex-degree-based molecular structure descriptors that are being studied in contemporary mathematical chemistry. We also show that these results are straightforwardly obtained by u...

Edge-Szeged and vertex-PIindices of Some Benzenoid Systems

The edge version of Szeged index and vertex version of PI index are defined very recently. They are similar to edge-PI and vertex-Szeged indices, respectively. The different versions of Szeged and PIindices are the most important topological indices defined in Chemistry. In this paper, we compute the edge-Szeged and vertex-PIindices of some important classes of benzenoid systems.

An Algorithm for the Calculation of the Szeged Index of Benzenoid Hydrocarbons

The Szeged index (Sz) is a recently proposed1q2 structural descriptor, based on the distances of the vertices of the molecular graph. In order to be able to study the properties of this novel topological index it would be advantageous to possess an easy method for its calculation. The calculation of Sz directly from its definition (see below) is quite cumbersome, especially in the case of large...
