The Wiener index of a strong digraph $D$ is defined as the sum of the distances between all ordered pairs of vertices. This definition has been extended to digraphs that are not necessarily strong by defining the distance from a vertex $a$…

The Wiener index $W(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is a sum of distances between all pairs of vertices of $G$. In 1991, \v{S}olt\'{e}s formulated the problem of finding all graphs $G$ such that for every vertex $v$ the equation $W(G)=W(G-v)$…

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} \}|/…
