Let T be an acyclic graph without perfect matching and Z(T ) be its Hosoya index; let Fn be the nth Fibonacci number. It is proved in this work that Z(T ) ≤ 2F2m F2m+1 when T has order 4m with the equality holding if and only if T = T1,2m−1,2m−1, and that Z(T ) ≤ F2 2m+2 + F2m F2m+1 when T has order 4m + 2 with the equality holding if and only if T = T1,2m+1,2m−1, where m is a positive integer ...

It was recently shown that an interesting class of trees maximizes the MerrifieldSimmons index and minimizes the Hosoya index and energy among all trees with given number of vertices and maximum degree. In this paper, we describe how these trees (which we will call F-trees) can be constructed algorithmically by means of so-called F-expansions, which are very similar to ordinary base-d digital e...

This paper demonstrates properties of Hosoya entropy, a quantitative measure of graph complexity based on a decomposition of the vertices linked to partial Hosoya polynomials. Connections between the information content of a graph and Hosoya entropy are established, and the special case of Hosoya entropy of trees is investigated.

The generalized Hosoya triangle is an arrangement of numbers where each entry is a product of two generalized Fibonacci numbers. We define a discrete convolution 1 C based on the entries of the generalized Hosoya triangle. We use C and generating functions to prove that the sum of every k-th entry in the n-th row or diagonal of generalized Hosoya triangle, beginning on the left with the first e...

For a connected graph G and an non-empty set S ⊆ V (G), the Steiner distance dG(S) among the vertices of S is defined as the minimum size among all connected subgraphs whose vertex sets contain S. This concept represents a natural generalization of the concept of classical graph distance. Recently, the Steiner Wiener index of a graph was introduced by replacing the classical graph distance used...

In this paper, we introduce the Hosoya-Spectral indices and the Hosoya information content of a graph. The first measure combines structural information captured by partial Hosoya polynomials and graph spectra. The latter is a graph entropy measure which is based on blocks consisting of vertices with the same partial Hosoya polynomial. We evaluate the discrimination power of these quantities by...

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...
