The well-known Wiener index is defined as the sum of pairwise distances between vertices. Extremal problems with respect to it have been extensively studied for trees. A generalization of the Wiener index, called the Steiner Wiener index, takes the sum of minimum sizes of subgraphs that span [Formula: see text] given vertices over all possible choices of the [Formula: see text] vertices. We consider the extremal problems with respect to the Steiner Wiener index among trees of a given degree sequence. First, it is pointed out minimizing the Steiner Wiener index in general may be a difficult problem, although the extremal structure may very likely be the same as that for the regular Wiener index. We then consider the upper bound of the general Steiner Wiener index among trees of a given degree sequence and study the corresponding extremal trees. With these findings, some further discussion and computational analysis are presented for chemical trees. We also propose a conjecture based on the computational results. In addition, we identify the extremal trees that maximize the Steiner Wiener index among trees with a given maximum degree or number of leaves.

A variety of molecular-graph-based structure-descriptors were proposed, in particular the Wiener index W. the largest graph eigenvalue λ1, the connectivity index X, the graph energy E and the Hosoya index Z, capable of measuring the branching of the carbon-atom skeleton of organic compounds, and therefore suitable for describing several of their physico-chemical properties. We now determine the structure of the chemical trees (= the graph representation of acyclic saturated hydrocarbons) that are extremal with respect to W , λ1, E, and Z. whereas the analogous problem for X was solved earlier. Among chemical trees with 5. 6, 7, and 3k + 2 vertices, k = 2,3,..., one and the same tree has maximum λ1 and minimum W, E, Z. Among chemical trees with 3k and 3k +1 vertices, k = 3,4...., one tree has minimum 11 and maximum λ1 and another minimum E and Z .

AbstractLet G be a simple undirected graph. The energy E(G) of G is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the adjacent matrix of G, and the Hosoya index Z(G) of G is the total number of matchings in G. A tree is called a nonconjugated tree if it contains no perfect matching. Recently, Ou [‘Maximal Hosoya index and extremal acyclic molecular graphs without perfect matching’, Appl. Math. Lett.19 (2006), 652–656] determined the unique element which is maximal with respect to Z(G) among the family of nonconjugated n-vertex trees in the case of even n. In this paper, we provide a counterexample to Ou’s results. Then we determine the unique maximal element with respect to E(G) as well as Z(G) among the family of nonconjugated n-vertex trees for the case when n is even. As corollaries, we determine the maximal element with respect to E(G) as well as Z(G) among the family of nonconjugated chemical trees on n vertices, when n is even.
