Abstract

Recently, D. Vukicˇ\check{c}evicˊ\acute{c} and J. Sedlar in \cite{Vuki} introduced an order "\preceq" on Tn\mathcal{T}_n, the set of trees on nn vertices, such that the topological index FF of a graph is a function defined on the order set Tn,\langle\mathcal{T}_n,\preceq\rangle. It provides a new approach to determine the extremal graphs with respect to topological index FF. By using the method they determined the common maximum and/or minimum graphs of Tn\mathcal{T}_n with respect to topological indices of Wiener type and anti-Wiener type. Motivated by their researches we further study the order set Tn,\langle\mathcal{T}_n,\preceq\rangle and give a criterion to determine its order, which enable us to get the common extremal graphs in four prescribed subclasses of Tn,\langle\mathcal{T}_n,\preceq\rangle. All these extremal graphs are confirmed to be the common maximum and/or minimum graphs with respect to the topological indices of Wiener type and anti-Wiener type. Additionally, we calculate the exact values of Wiener index for the extremal graphs in the order sets C(n,k),\langle\mathcal{C}(n,k),\preceq\rangle, Tn(q),\langle\mathcal{T}_{n}(q),\preceq\rangle and TnΔ,\langle\mathcal{T}_{n}^\Delta,\preceq\rangle.
