The Wiener index of a graph is the sum of all pairwise distances of vertices of the graph. Fischermann et al [5] characterized the trees which minimize the Wiener index among all trees with the maximum degree at most ∆. They also determined the trees which maximize the Wiener index, but in a much more restricted family of trees which have two distinct vertex degrees only. In this note, we fully...

‎Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge‎ ‎set E(G)‎. ‎The (first) edge-hyper Wiener index of the graph G is defined as‎: ‎$$WW_{e}(G)=sum_{{f,g}subseteq E(G)}(d_{e}(f,g|G)+d_{e}^{2}(f,g|G))=frac{1}{2}sum_{fin E(G)}(d_{e}(f|G)+d^{2}_{e}(f|G)),$$‎ ‎where de(f,g|G) denotes the distance between the edges f=xy and g=uv in E(G) and de(f|G)=∑g€(G)de(f,g|G). ‎In thi...

The Wiener index is one of the main descriptors that correlate a chemical compound’s molecular graph with experimentally gathered data regarding the compound’s characteristics. A long standing conjecture on the Wiener index ([4], [5]) states that for any positive integer n (except numbers from a given 49 element set), one can find a tree with Wiener index n. In this paper, we prove that every i...

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...

The Wiener index of a graph is the sum of the distances between all pairs of vertices, it has been one of the main descriptors that correlate a chemical compound’s molecular graph with experimentally gathered data regarding the compound’s characteristics. In [1], the tree that minimizes the Wiener index among trees of given maximal degree is studied. We characterize trees that achieve the maxim...

AIM To compare gut bacterial diversity and amount of Enterobacteriaceae in colonic mucosa between patients with and without diverticular disease (DD). METHODS Patients in a stable clinical condition with planned elective colonoscopy were included. Blood samples and colon mucosa biopsies were collected at the colonoscopy. Study questionnaires including questions about gastrointestinal symptoms...

In this paper, the concepts of Wiener index of a vertex weighted and edge weighted graphs are discussed. Vertex weight and edge weight of a clique are introduced. Wiener index of a vertex weighted partial cube is also discussed. Also a new concept known as Connectivity index is introduced. A relation between Connectivity index and Wiener index for different graphs are discussed.
