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.

Let $G*H$ be the product $*$ of $G$ and $H$. In this paper we determine the rth power of the graph $G*H$ in terms of $G^r, H^r$ and $G^r*H^r$, when $*$ is the join, Cartesian, symmetric difference, disjunctive, composition, skew and corona product. Then we solve the equation $(G*H)^r=G^r*H^r$. We also compute the Wiener index and Wiener polarity index of the skew product.

Reliability Wiener number is a modification of the original Wiener number in which probabilities are assigned to edges yielding a natural model in which there are some (or all) bonds in the molecule that are not static. Various probabilities naturally allow modelling different types of chemical bonds because chemical bonds are of different types and it is well-known that under certain condition...

The Cartesian product of graphs was introduced more than 50 years ago and many fundamental results were obtained since then. Nevertheless, in the last years several basic problems on the Cartesian product were solved and interesting theorems proved on topics of contemporary interest in graph theory. Here we survey recent developments on the structure of the Cartesian product with emphasis on th...

Introduction THE study of topologies on X x Y is motivated by some outstanding deficiencies of the cartesian, that is the usual, topology on the product of spaces. (Throughout this paper all spaces will be assumed to be Hausdorff.) Firstly, the cartesian product of identification maps is not, in general, an identification map. As a consequence certain natural products such as the join and smash...

A subset $S$ of vertex set $V(D)$ is an {em indpendent dominating set} of $D$ if $S$ is both an independent and a dominating set of $D$. The {em indpendent domination number}, $i(D)$ is the cardinality of the smallest independent dominating set of $D$. In this paper we calculate the independent domination number of the { em cartesian product} of two {em directed paths} $P_m$ and $P_n$ for arbi...

Use vi , i , i , i to denote order, connectivity, edge-connectivity and minimum degree of a graphGi for i=1, 2, respectively. For the connectivity and the edge-connectivity of the Cartesian product graph, up to now, the best results are (G1×G2) 1+ 2 and (G1×G2) 1+ 2. This paper improves these results by proving that (G1×G2) min{ 1+ 2, 2+ 1} and (G1×G2)= min{ 1+ 2, 1v2, 2v1} ifG1 andG2 are conne...
