AbstractPrevious studies show that certain physical and chemical properties of chemical compounds are closely related with their molecular structure. As a theoretical basis, it provides a new way of thinking by analyzing the molecular structure of the compounds to understand their physical and chemical properties. The molecular topological indices are numerical invariants of a molecular graph and are useful to predict their bioactivity. Among these topological indices, the eccentric-connectivity index has a prominent place, because of its high degree of predictability of pharmaceutical properties. In this article, we compute the closed formulae of eccentric-connectivity–based indices and its corresponding polynomial for water-soluble perylenediimides-cored polyglycerol dendrimers. Furthermore, the edge version of eccentric-connectivity index for a new class of dendrimers is determined. The conclusions we obtained in this article illustrate the promising application prospects in the field of bioinformatics and nanomaterial engineering.

The sum-connectivity index of a graph [Formula: see text] is defined as the sum of weights [Formula: see text] over all edges [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the degrees of the vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], respectively. A graph [Formula: see text] is called quasi-tree, if there exists [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is a tree. In the paper, we give a sharp lower bound on the sum-connectivity index of quasi-tree graphs.

The sum-connectivity index of a graph [Formula: see text] is defined as the sum of weights [Formula: see text] over all edges [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the degrees of the vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], respectively. The graphs called two-trees are defined by recursion. The smallest two-tree is the complete graph on two vertices. A two-tree on [Formula: see text] vertices (where [Formula: see text]) is obtained by adding a new vertex adjacent to the two end vertices of one edge in a two-tree on [Formula: see text] vertices. In this paper, the sharp lower bound on the sum-connectivity index of two-trees is presented, and the two-trees with the minimum and the second minimum sum-connectivity, respectively, are determined.
