Hosoya polynomial of zigzag polyhex nanotorus

Abstract

The Hosoya polynomial of a molecular graph G is defined as H(G,?)=?{u,v}V?(G) ?d(u,v), where d(u,v) is the distance between vertices u and v. The first derivative of H(G,?) at ?=1 is equal to the Wiener index of G, defined as W(G)?{u,v}?V(G)d(u,v). The second derivative of 1/2 ?H(G, ?) at ?=1 is equal to the hyper-Wiener index, defined as WW(G)+1/2?{u,v}?V(G)d(u,v)?. Xu et al.1 computed the Hosoya polynomial of zigzag open-ended nanotubes. Also Xu and Zhang2 computed the Hosoya polynomial of armchair open-ended nanotubes. In this paper, a new method was implemented to find the Hosoya polynomial of G = HC6[p,q], the zigzag polyhex nanotori and to calculate the Wiener and hyper Wiener indices of G using H(G,?).
