β¦ Synopsis
The Wiener polarity index W p (G) of a graph G = (V , E) is the number of unordered pairs of vertices {u, v} of G such that the distance d G (u, v) between u and v is 3. In this work, we give the maximum Wiener polarity index of trees with n vertices and k pendants and find that the maximum value is independent of k when k + 2 β€ n β€ 2k. The corresponding extremal trees are characterized.

The many applications of the distance matrix, D(G), and the Wiener branching index, W(G), in chemistry are briefly outlined. W(G) is defined as one half the sum of all the entries in D(G). A recursion formula is developed enabling W(G) to be evaluated for any molecule whose graph G exists in the for
Let 3:; denote the set of simple graphs with n vertices and m edges, t ( G ) the number of spanning trees of a graph G , and F 2 H if t(K,\E(F))?t(K,\E(H)) for every s? max{u(F), u ( H ) } . We give a complete characterization of >-maximal (maximum) graphs in 3:; subject to m 5 n . This result conta
