Abstract

Topological indices are the mathematical tools that correlate the chemical structure with various physical properties, chemical reactivity or biological activity numerically. A topological index is a function having a set of graphs as its domain and a set of real numbers as its range. In QSAR/QSPR study, a prediction about the bioactivity of chemical compounds is made on the basis of physico-chemical properties and topological indices such as Zagreb, Randić and multiple Zagreb indices. In this paper, we determine the lower and upper bounds of Zagreb indices, the atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index, multiple Zagreb indices, the geometric-arithmetic (GA) index, the forgotten topological index and the Narumi-Katayama index for the Cartesian product of F-sum of connected graphs by using combinatorial inequalities.

Highlights

  • Introduction and preliminary results We considerG as a simple, connected and finite graph with a vertex set V (G) = {u1, u2, u3, . . . , un}, an edge set E(G) = {e1, e2, e3, . . . , em}, the order of G = |V (G)| = n and the size of G = |E(G)| = m

  • The number of edges having u as an end vertex is called the degree of u in G and is denoted by degG(u)

  • The branch of mathematical chemistry which applies graph theory to mathematical modeling of chemical phenomena is known as chemical graph theory [2]
