Let G = (V , E) be a simple connected graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The Wiener index of G is defined by Wwhere n eu (e|G) (resp. n ev (e|G)) is the number of edges of G closer to u (resp. v) than v (resp. u). In this paper we find the above indices for various graphs using the group of automorphisms of G. This is an efficient method of finding these indices especially when the automorphism group of G has a few orbits on V or E. We also find the Wiener indices of a few graphs which frequently arise in mathematical chemistry using inductive methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
