We define the Wiener-entropy, which is together with the eccentricity-entropy one of the most natural distance-based graph entropies. By deriving the (asymptotic) extremal behaviour, we conclude that the Wiener-entropy of graphs of a given…

This paper is devoted to Wiener index of directed graphs, more precisely of directed grids. The grid $G_{m,n}$ is the Cartesian product $P_m\Box P_n$ of paths on $m$ and $n$ vertices, and in a particular case when $m=2$, it is a called the…
