The paper discusses the edge hyper-Zagreb index of a graph, which is calculated by replacing vertex degrees with edge degrees. The degree of an edge is determined by adding up the degrees of the end vertices of the edge and subtracting 2.…

The Wiener index of a graph $W(G)$ is a well studied topological index for graphs. An outstanding problem of \v{S}olt{\'e}s is to find graphs $G$ such that $W(G)=W(G-v)$ for all vertices $v\in V(G)$, with the only known example being…

The harmonic index of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of weights $\frac{2}{deg(v) + deg(u)}$ of all edges $uv$ of $E (G)$, where $deg (v)$ denotes the degree of a vertex $v$ in $V (G)$. In this note we generalize results of [L. Zhong, The…

We consider the problem of finding edges of a hidden weighted graph using a certain type of queries. Let $G$ be a weighted graph with $n$ vertices. In the most general setting, the $n$ vertices are known and no other information about $G$…

We consider topological indices I that are sums of f(deg(u)) f(deg(v)), where {u,v} are adjacent vertices and f is a function. The Randi{\'c} connectivity index or the Zagreb group index are examples for indices of this kind. In earlier…

The Wiener index, $W(G)$, of a connected graph $G$ is the sum of distances between its vertices. In 2021, Akhmejanova et al. posed the problem of finding graphs $G$ with large $R_m(G)= |\{v\in V(G)\,|\,W(G)-W(G-v)=m \in \mathbb{Z} \}|/…
