Wiener Index of Line Graphs

Martin Knor, Riste Škrekovski

Open publisher page 65 citations

Abstract

We consider the molecular descriptor Wiener index, W, of graphs and their line graphs. This index plays a crucial role in organic chemistry. It was studied by chemists decades before it attracted attention of mathematicians. In fact, it was studied long time before the branch of discrete mathematics, which is now known as graph theory, was born. Nowadays, there are many indices known used to describe the molecules.
