the wiener index is a graph invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. inaddition to that a generating function, which was called the wiener polynomial, who’sderivate is a q-analog of the wiener index was defined. in an article, sagan, yeh and zhang in[the wiener polynomial of a graph, int. j. quantun chem., 60 (1996), 959969] attainedwhat graph operations do to the wiener po...

The Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph is defined as the total number of the independent sets of the graph and the Hosoya index of a graph is defined as the total number of the matchings of the graph. In this paper, we give formula for Merrifield-Simmons and Hosoya indices of some classes of cartesian product of two graphs K{_2}×H, where H is a path graph P{_n}, cyclic graph C{_n}, or star gra...

We find exact values for the game chromatic number of the Cartesian product graphs Sm¤Pn, Sm¤Cn, P2¤Wn, and P2¤Km,n. This extends previous results of Bartnicki et al. on the game chromatic number of Cartesian product graphs.
