Let $G=(V_G, E_G)$ be a simple connected graph. The eccentric distance sum of $G$ is defined as $\xi^{d}(G) = \sum_{v\in V_G}\varepsilon_{G}(v)D_{G}(v)$, where $\varepsilon_G(v)$ is the eccentricity of the vertex $v$ and $D_G(v) =…

Recently, Gutman [MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 86 (2021) 11-16] defined a new graph invariant which is named the Sombor index $\mathrm{SO}(G)$ of a graph $G$ and is computed via the expression \[ \mathrm{SO}(G) = \sum_{u \sim v}…

The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of topological distances between all pairs of vertices. Since Wang gave a mistake result on the maximum Wiener index for given tree degree sequence, in this paper, we investigate the maximum…

An extension of the well-known Szeged index was introduced recently, named as weighted Szeged index ($\textrm{sz}(G)$). This paper is devoted to characterizing the extremal trees and graphs of this new topological invariant. In particular,…

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…

We study the Sombor index of trees with various degree restrictions. In addition to rediscovering that among all trees with a given degree sequence, the greedy tree minimises the Sombor index and the alternating greedy tree maximises it, we…

Vertex-degree-based topological indices have recently gained a lot of attention from mathematical chemists. One such index that we focus on in this paper is called Sombor index. After its definition in late 2020, the Sombor index was…

The Wiener index is maximized over the set of trees with the given vertex weight and degree sequences. This model covers the traditional "unweighed" Wiener index, the terminal Wiener index, and the vertex distance index. It is shown that…

A graph is odd if all of its vertices have odd degrees. In particular, an odd spanning tree in a connected graph is a spanning tree in which all vertices have odd degrees. In this paper we establish a unified technique to enumerate odd…

The transmission of a vertex $v$ in a (chemical) graph $G$ is the sum of distances from $v$ to other vertices in $G$. If any two vertices of $G$ have different transmissions, then $G$ is transmission irregular. The Wiener index $W(G)$ of a…

The \emph{Wiener polynomial} of a connected graph $G$ is the polynomial $W(G;x) = \sum_{i=1}^{D(G)} d_i(G)x^i$ where $D(G)$ is the diameter of $G$, and $d_i(G)$ is the number of pairs of vertices at distance $i$ from each other. We examine…
