Abstract

A canonical numbering of molecular graphs based on the maximum code assigned to the lower-triangle part of the adjacency matrix is used for a recurrent constructive enumeration of molecular graphs. The underlying theoretical concept - the so-called semicanonical numbering - is much more restrictive than the originally used concept of cooperative numbering. The method does not involve very time-consuming isomorphism checks of currently constructed graphs against those already constructed.
