Generalized Wiener indices of zigzagging pentachains

  • Published:
Journal of Mathematical Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The “pentachains” studied in this paper are graphs formed of concatenated 5-cycles. Explicit formulas are obtained for the Schultz and modified Schultz indices of these graphs, as well as for generalizations of these indices. In the process we give a more refined version of the procedure that earlier was reported for the ordinary Wiener index.
