Heydari \cite{heydari2013} presented very nice formulae for the Wiener and terminal Wiener indices of generalized Bethe trees. It is pity that there are some errors for the formulae. In this paper, we correct these errors and characterize…

The Wiener index $W(G)$ of a graph $G$ is one of the most well-known topological indices, which is defined as the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices of $G$. The diameter $D(G)$ of $G$ is the maximum distance between all pairs of…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. The Steiner distance $d(S)$ of a set $S$ of vertices is the minimum size of a connected subgraph of $G$ containing all vertices of $S$. For $k\in \mathbb{N}$, the Steiner $k$-Wiener index $SW_k(G)$ is defined…

In this paper, we refer to a asymptotic degree sequence as $\mathscr{D}=(d_1,d_2,\dots,d_n)$. The examination of topological indices on trees gives us a general overview through bounds to find the maximum and minimum bounds which reflect…

The eccentricity matrix of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $\mathcal{E}(G)$, is obtained from the distance matrix of $G$ by keeping the largest nonzero entries in each row and each column, and leaving zeros in the remaining ones. The…

We establish maximal trees and graphs for the difference of average distance and proximity proving thus the corresponding conjecture posed in [4]. We also establish maximal trees for the difference of average eccentricity and remoteness and…

A vertex of degree one in a tree is called an end vertex and a vertex of degree at least three is called a branch vertex. For a graph $G$, let $\sigma_2$ be the minimum degree sum of two nonadjacent vertices in $G$. We consider tree…

Let $\eta(G)$ be the number of connected induced subgraphs in a graph $G$, and $\overline{G}$ the complement of $G$. We prove that $\eta(G)+\eta(\overline{G})$ is minimum, among all $n$-vertex graphs, if and only if $G$ has no induced path…

For a graph $G$, the mean subtree order of $G$ is the average order of a subtree of $G$. In this note, we provide counterexamples to a recent conjecture of Chin, Gordon, MacPhee, and Vincent, that for every connected graph $G$ and every…

Mader [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 40 (1986) 152-158] proved that every $k$-edge-connected graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $k+1$ contains a vertex $u$ such that $G-\{u\}$ is still $k$-edge-connected. In this paper, we prove that every…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a graph with non-empty set of vertices $V$ and set of edges $E$. The \emph{eccentric connectivity index} of the graph $G$ is defined as $$\displaystyle{\xi^C(G) = \sum_{u \in V} d_u \;ecc(u)}$$ where $d_u$ is the degree…

A vertex whose removal in a graph $G$ increases the number of components of $G$ is called a cut vertex. For all $n,c$, we determine the maximum number of connected induced subgraphs in a connected graph with order $n$ and $c$ cut vertices,…

The Wiener polarity index of a graph G is the number of unordered pairs of vertices u, v such that the distance between u and v is 3. In this paper we give an explicit formula for the Wiener polarity index of cactus graphs. We also deduce…

The vertex $k$-partiteness $v_k(G)$ of graph $G$ is defined as the fewest number of vertices whose deletion from $G$ yields a $k$-partite graph. In this paper, we introduce two concepts: monotonic decreasing topological index and monotonic…
