M-polynomials and degree-based topological indices of tadpole graph

Abstract

Chemical graph theory is a branch of mathematical chemistry which has an important outcome on the development of the chemical sciences. A chemical graph is a graph which is produced from some molecular structure by applying some graphical operations. The demonstration of chemical compounds and chemical networks with M-polynomials is a new idea and the M-polynomial of different molecular structures supports us to calculate many topological indices. A topological index is a numeric quantity that describes the whole structure of a molecular graph of the chemical compound and supports to understand its physical features, chemical reactivates and boiling activities. In this paper, we compute M-polynomial and topological indices of tadpole graph, then we recover numerous topological indices using the M-polynomial.
