The extremal values of the Wiener index of a tree with given degree sequence
نویسنده
چکیده
The Wiener index of a graph is the sum of the distances between all pairs of vertices, it has been one of the main descriptors that correlate a chemical compound’s molecular graph with experimentally gathered data regarding the compound’s characteristics. In [1], the tree that minimizes the Wiener index among trees of given maximal degree is studied. We characterize trees that achieve the maximum and minimum Wiener index, given the number of vertices and the degree sequence. Keyword: tree, Wiener index, degree sequence

Corrigendum: The extremal values of the Wiener index of a tree with given degree sequence
The Wiener index of a graph is the sum of the distances between all pairs of vertices, it has been one of the main descriptors that correlate a chemical compound’s molecular graph with experimentally gathered data regarding the compound’s characteristics.

متن کاملThe Maximum Wiener Index of Trees with Given Degree Sequences
The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of topological distances between all pairs of vertices. Since Wang in [23] gave a mistake result on the maximum Wiener index for given tree degree sequence, in this paper, we investigate the maximum Wiener index of trees with given degree sequences and extremal trees which attain the maximum value.
متن کاملThe Number of Subtrees of Trees with Given Degree Sequence
This article investigates some properties of the number of subtrees of a tree with given degree sequence. These results are used to characterize trees with the given degree sequence that have the largest number of subtrees, which generalize the recent results of Kirk and Wang (SIAM J Discrete Math 22 (2008), 985–995). These trees coincide with those which were proven by Wang and independently Z...

This paper investigates some properties of the number of subtrees of a tree with given degree sequence. These results are used to characterize trees with the given degree sequence that have the largest number of subtrees, which generalizes the recent results of Kirk and Wang. These trees coincide with those which were proven by Wang and independently Zhang et al. to minimize the Wiener index. W...
متن کاملOn the extremal total irregularity index of n-vertex trees with fixed maximum degree
In the extension of irregularity indices, Abdo et. al. [1] defined the total irregu-larity of a graph G = (V, E) as irrt(G) = 21 Pu,v∈V (G) du − dv, where du denotesthe vertex degree of a vertex u ∈ V (G). In this paper, we investigate the totalirregularity of trees with bounded maximal degree Δ and state integer linear pro-gramming problem which gives standard information about extremal trees a...
