gradual decrease of biodiversity related to the rapid industrialization and urbanization is stimulating the fundamental research towards a better understanding of the relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. present study emphasizes the nature and status of floral diversity in the vicinity of integrated industrial estate-pantnagar, uttarakhand, india (iie-pantnagar).three m...

in this paper, a novel topological index, named m-index, is introduced based on expanded form of the wiener matrix. for constructing this index the atomic characteristics and the interaction of the vertices in a molecule are taken into account. the usefulness of the m-index is demonstrated by several qspr/qsar models for different physico-chemical properties and biological activities of a large...

the vertex-edge wiener index of a simple connected graph g is defined as the sum of distances between vertices and edges of g. two possible distances d_1(u,e|g) and d_2(u,e|g) between a vertex u and an edge e of g were considered in the literature and according to them, the corresponding vertex-edge wiener indices w_{ve_1}(g) and w_{ve_2}(g) were introduced. in this paper, we present exact form...

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,w) be a network, that is, a graph G = (V (G), E(G)) together with the weight function w : E(G) → R. The Szeged index Sz(G,w) of the network (G,w) is introduced and proved that Sz(G,w) ≥ W (G,w) holds for any connected network where W (G,w) is the Wiener index of (G,w). Moreover, equality holds if and only if (G,w) is a block network in which w is constant on each of its blocks. Analogous...
