How to Compute the Wiener Index of a Graph*

چکیده

The Wiener index of a graph G is equal to the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices of G, It is known that the Wiener index of a molecular graph correlates with certain physical and chemical properties of a molecule. In the mathematical literature, many good algorithms can be found to eompute the distances m a graph, and these can easily be adapted for the caleulation of the Wiener indcx. An algorithm that calculates the Wiener index of a tree in linear timc is givcn. It improves an algorithm of Canfield, Robinson and Rouvray. The question rcmains: is there an algorithm for general graphs that would eMculate the Wiener index without calculating the distance matrix? Another algorithm that calculates this index for an arbitrary graph is given.

On the distance based indices of H-phenylenic nanotorus

Let G be a connected simple (molecular) graph. The distance d(u, v) between two vertices u and v of G is equal to the length of a shortest path that connects u and v. In this paper we compute some distance based topological indices of H-Phenylenic nanotorus. At first we obtain an exact formula for the Wiener index. As application we calculate the Schultz index and modified Schultz index of this...

COMPUTING WIENER INDEX OF HAC5C7[p, q] NANOTUBES BY GAP PROGRAM

The Wiener index of a graph Gis defined as W(G) =1/2[Sum(d(i,j)] over all pair of elements of V(G), where V (G) is the set of vertices of G and d(i, j) is the distance between vertices i and j. In this paper, we give an algorithm by GAP program that can be compute the Wiener index for any graph also we compute the Wiener index of HAC5C7[p, q] and HAC5C6C7[p, q] nanotubes by this program.

Wiener Polarity Index of Tensor Product of Graphs

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 ...

Some Topological Indices of Nanostar Dendrimers

Wiener index is a topological index based on distance between every pair of vertices in a graph G. It was introduced in 1947 by one of the pioneer of this area e.g, Harold Wiener. In the present paper, by using a new method introduced by klavžar we compute the Wiener and Szeged indices of some nanostar dendrimers.

On the edge reverse Wiener indices of TUC4C8(S) nanotubes

The edge versions of reverse Wiener indices were introduced by Mahmiani et al. very recently. In this paper, we find their relation with ordinary (vertex) Wiener index in some graphs. Also, we compute them for trees and TUC4C8(s) naotubes.
