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...

On the tutte polynomial of benzenoid chains

The Tutte polynomial of a graph G, T(G, x,y) is a polynomial in two variables defined for every undirected graph contains information about how the graph is connected. In this paper a simple formula for computing Tutte polynomial of a benzenoid chain is presented.

Hosoya polynomials of random benzenoid chains

Let $G$ be a molecular graph with vertex set $V(G)$, $d_G(u, v)$ the topological distance between vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The Hosoya polynomial $H(G, x)$ of $G$ is a polynomial $sumlimits_{{u, v}subseteq V(G)}x^{d_G(u, v)}$ in variable $x$. In this paper, we obtain an explicit analytical expression for the expected value of the Hosoya polynomial of a random benzenoid chain with $n$ hexagon...

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.
