in this paper we present explicit formulas for the eccentric connectivity index of three classesof chain hexagonal cacti. further, it is shown that the extremal chain hexagonal cacti withrespect to the eccentric connectivity index belong to one of the considered types. some openproblems and possible directions of further research are mentioned in the concluding section.

in this paper, we calculate the eccentric connectivity index and the eccentricity sequence of two infinite classes of fullerenes with 50 + 10k and 60 + 12k (k in n) carbon atoms.

the eccentricity connectivity index of a molecular graph g is defined as (g) = av(g)deg(a)ε(a), where ε(a) is defined as the length of a maximal path connecting a to othervertices of g and deg(a) is degree of vertex a. here, we compute this topological index forsome infinite classes of dendrimer graphs.

The connectivity index χ1(G) of a graph G is the sum of the weights d(u)d(v) of all edges uv of G, where d(u) denotes the degree of the vertex u. Let T (n, r) be the set of trees on n vertices with diameter r . In this paper, we determine all trees in T (n, r) with the largest and the second largest connectivity index. Also, the trees in T (n, r) with the largest and the second largest connecti...

Abstract The m-order connectivity index mχ(G) of an organic molecule whose molecular graph is G is the sum of the weights (di1di2 · · · dim+1) 1 2 , where di1di2 · · · dim+1 runs over all paths of length m in G and di denotes the degree of vertex vi. Dendrimer is a polimer molecule with a distinctive structure that resembles the crown of a tree. Dendrimers are key molecules in nanotechnology an...

For a graph G, let σ(G) = ∑ uv∈E(G) 1 √ dG(u)+dG(v) ; this defines the sum-connectivity index σ(G). More generally, given a positive function t, the edge-weight t-index t(G) is given by t(G) = ∑ uv∈E(G) t(ω(uv)), where ω(uv) = dG(u) + dG(v). We consider extremal problems for the t-index over various families of graphs. The sum-connectivity index satisfies the conditions imposed on t in each ext...

Let Tn denote the set of all unrooted and unlabeled trees with n vertices, and (i, j) a double-star. By assuming that every tree of Tn is equally likely, we show that the limiting distribution of the number of occurrences of the double-star (i, j) in Tn is normal. Based on this result, we obtain the asymptotic value of Randić index for trees. Fajtlowicz conjectured that for any connected graph ...

Relative centricity RC values of vertices/atoms are calculated within the Distance Detour and Cluj-Distance criteria on their corresponding Shell transforms. The vertex RC distribution in a molecular graph gives atom equivalence classes, useful in interpretation of NMR spectra. Timed by vertex valences, RC provides a new index, called Centric Connectivity CC, which can be useful in the topologi...
