Let G be a graph. Denote by L(G) its i-iterated line graph and denote by W (G) its Wiener index. Dobrynin, Entringer and Gutman stated the following problem: Does there exist a non-trivial tree T and i ≥ 3 such that W (L(T )) = W (T )? In a series of five papers we solve this problem. In a previous paper we proved that W (L(T )) > W (T ) for every tree T that is not homeomorphic to a path, claw...

let $g$ be an $(n,m)$-graph. we say that $g$ has property $(ast)$if for every pair of its adjacent vertices $x$ and $y$, thereexists a vertex $z$, such that $z$ is not adjacentto either $x$ or $y$. if the graph $g$ has property $(ast)$, thenits complement $overline g$ is connected, has diameter 2, and itswiener index is equal to $binom{n}{2}+m$, i.e., the wiener indexis insensitive of any other...

This note introduces a new general conjecture correlating the dimensionality dT of an infinite lattice with N nodes to the asymptotic value of its Wiener Index W(N). In the limit of large N the general asymptotic behavior W(N)≈Ns is proposed, where the exponent s and dT are related by the conjectured formula s=2+1/dT allowing a new definition of dimensionality dW=(s-2)-1. Being related to the t...

Let G be a simple connected graph. The generalized polarity Wiener index of G is defined as the number of unordered pairs of vertices of G whose distance is k. Some formulas are obtained for computing the generalized polarity Wiener index of the Cartesian product and the tensor product of graphs in this article.

The sum of distances between all the pairs of vertices in a connected graph is known as the {it Wiener index} of the graph. In this paper, we obtain the Wiener index of edge complements of stars, complete subgraphs and cycles in $K_n$.

In past years, topological indices are introduced to measure the characters of chemical molecules. Thus, the study of these topological indices has raised large attention in the field of chemical science, biology science and pharmaceutical science. In this paper, by virtue of molecular structure analysis, we determine the total Szeged index, vertex-edge Wiener index and edge hyper-Wiener index ...

qspr study on benzene derivatives have been made using recently introduced topological methodology. in this study the relationship between the randic' (x'), balaban (j), szeged (sz),harary (h), wiener (w), hyperwiener and wiener polarity (wp) to the thermal energy (eth), heat capacity (cv) and entropy (s) of benzene derivatives is represented.physicochemical properties are taken from the quantu...

general formulas are obtained for the vertex padmakar-ivan index (piv) of tetrathiafulvalene(ttf) dendrimer, whereby ttf units we are employed as branching centers. the piv index isa wiener-szeged-like index developed very recently. this topological index is defined as thesummation of all sums of nu(e) and nv(e), over all edges of connected graph g.

Abstract The n-th order Wiener index of a molecular graph G was put forward by Estrada et al. [New J. Chem. 22 (1998) 819] as ( ) 1 ( , ) n n x W H G x where ( , ) H G x is the Hosoya polynomial. Recently Brückler et al. [Chem. Phys. Lett. 503 (2011) 336] considered a related graph invariant, ( ) 1 1 (1/ !) ( ( , )) / n n n n x W n d x H G x d x . For n=1, both W and W reduce to the ordinary W...
