A New Approach to Compute Wiener Index

Paul Manuel, Indra Rajasingh, Bharati Rajan, R. Sundara Rajan

Open publisher page 19 citations

Abstract

Distance properties of molecular graphs form an important topic in chemical graph theory. The Wiener index of a graph G is defined as the sum of all distances between distinct vertices of G. A lot of research has been devoted to finding Wiener index by brute force method. In this paper we develop a method to compute the Wiener index of certain chemical graphs without using distance matrix.
