Abstract

Topological indices are numerical descriptors used in chemical graph theory to characterize the size, branching and connectivity of molecular structures. These descriptors are significantly correlated with a range of physicochemical characteristics and biological activities of a molecular compound. Recently, the M-polynomial approach has been used to represent molecular structures and calculate degree-based topological indices for various graph structures. This study focuses on determining closed-form expressions of the M-polynomial for three types of silicon-carbon structures: SiC3-I[a,b], SiC3-II[a,b] and SiC3-III[a,b], for arbitrary a>1, b≥1. Using the obtained M-polynomial, we calculate nine degree-dependent indices for these silicon-carbide structures. The study also includes visualizations of the computed topological indices and the M-polynomial. Furthermore, we have done a novel comparative analysis among the topological indices for these specific structures. The results obtained in this study provide a mathematical foundation for future researchers in the property prediction of these structures.

Computation of degree-dependent topological indices for banana tree graphs

A banana tree graph B(n, k) is obtained by connecting one leaf of each of n copies of a k-star graph to a single root vertex that is distinct from all the stars. Due to their branching structure, banana tree graphs resemble certain molecular frameworks and therefore provide a useful mathematical model for studying degr...

Analysis of Some Topological Indices at Distance$-2$ of  Carbon Nanosheet $HC_5C_7[h,c]$

Topological indices defined for the molecular graphs by  Gutman and Trinajstić are based on the degree of the vertices which are at distance one. Analogous to this, the generalized  topological indices based on the degree of the vertices which are at the distance $1\le l\le diam (G)$ is introduced. This extension aims...
