Abstract

The Wiener index W(G) of a simple connected graph G is defined as the sum of distances over all pairs of vertices in a graph. We denote by W[T_{n}] the set of all values of Wiener index for a graph from class T_{n} of trees on n vertices. The largest interval of contiguous integers (contiguous even integers in case of odd n) is denoted by W^{int}[T_{n}]. In this paper we prove that both sets are of the cardinality (1/6)n^3+O(n^2) in the case of even n, while in the case of odd n we prove that the cardinality of both sets equals (1/(12))n^3+O(n^2) solving thus two conjectures posed in literature.
