Let $G$ be a graph. The Steiner distance of $W\subseteq V(G)$ is the minimum size of a connected subgraph of $G$ containing $W$. Such a subgraph is necessarily a tree called a Steiner $W$-tree. The set $A\subseteq V(G)$ is a $k$-Steiner…

Building upon the notion of Gutman index $\operatorname{SGut}(G)$, Mao and Das recently introduced the Steiner Gutman index by incorporating Steiner distance for a connected graph $G$. The \emph{Steiner Gutman $k$-index}…

The Steiner diameter $sdiam_k(G)$ of a graph $G$, introduced by Chartrand, Oellermann, Tian and Zou in 1989, is a natural generalization of the concept of classical diameter. When $k=2$, $sdiam_2(G)=diam(G)$ is the classical diameter. The…

Szeged, PI and Mostar indices are some of the most investigated distance-based molecular descriptors. Recently, many different variations of these topological indices appeared in the literature and sometimes they are all together called…

The weighted Szeged index and the weighted vertex-PI index of a connected graph $G$ are defined as $wSz(G) = \sum_{e=uv \in E(G)} (deg (u) + deg (v))n_u(e)n_v(e)$ and $wPI_v(G) = \sum_{e=uv \in E(G)} (deg(u) + deg(v))( n_u(e) + n_v(e))$,…

The Wiener index W(G) of a graph G is the sum of distances between all unordered pairs of its vertices. Dobrynin and Mel'nikov [in: Distance in Molecular Graphs - Theory, 2012, p. 85-121] propose the study of estimates for extremal values…

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} \}|/…

Various questions related to distances between vertices of simple, finite graphs are of interest to extremal graph theorists. The Steiner distance of a set of $k$ vertices is a natural generalization of the regular distance. We extend…

The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of the distance of all pairs of distinct vertices. It was introduced by Wiener in 1947 to analyze some aspects of branching by fitting experimental data for several properties of alkane…

The first Zagreb index of a graph $G$ is the sum of the square of every vertex degree, while the second Zagreb index is the sum of the product of vertex degrees of each edge over all edges. In our work, we solve an open question about…

Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a $k$-set $S\subseteq V(G)$, the $Steiner$ $distance$ $d_{G}(S)$ of $S$ is defined as the size of a minimum tree including $S$ in $G$. The $Steiner$ $k$-$eccentricity$ of a vertex $v$ in $G$ is the…

We show that on cactus graphs the Szeged index is bounded above by twice the Wiener index. For the revised Szeged index the situation is reversed if the graph class is further restricted. Namely, if all blocks of a cactus graph are cycles,…

We prove a conjecture of Nadjafi-Arani, Khodashenas and Ashrafi on the difference between the Szeged and Wiener index of a graph. Namely, if $G$ is a 2-connected non-complete graph on $n$ vertices, then $Sz(G)-W(G)\ge 2n-6$. Furthermore,…
