Wiener Indices in Two Types of Random Polygonal Chains

Hongyong Wang, Zhenghua Xu, Qin Jiang

Abstract


The Wiener number of a connected graph is defined as the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices in G. In this paper, two explicit expressions are obtained for the expected values of the Wiener indices of two types of random polygonal chains, which are graphs of a class of linearly concatenated polygon-like structure, including polyphenyl hexagonal chain and pentagonal chain etc. To support our study, we provided some examples in the last section. Our formulaes can be used to compute the Winer numbers of unbranched concatenated polygon-like chains, and recover many results in the previous works.

Keywords


Wiener number, random polygonal chain, expected value.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
