Modeling the octane numbers of alkenes by the inverse function method

TLDR
In this paper, the octane number of alkenes has been simulated with the use of optimal topological indices and the results suggest the maximum attainable (within linear QSPR approaches) accuracy of calculation, which exceeds by a few orders of magnitude that of previously known procedures.
Abstract
On the basis of the octane-number topological equivalents (TEs) constructed earlier by the inverse function method, related to the octane numbers by a biunique function, and linearly dependent on the number of carbon atoms n for n-alkanes, the octane numbers of alkenes have been simulated with the use of optimal topological indices. The models obtained suggest the maximum attainable (within linear QSPR approaches) accuracy of calculation, which exceeds by a few orders of magnitude that of previously known procedures. The octane numbers are predicted for 68 alkenes that have not been characterized experimentally.

Topological Index. A Newly Proposed Quantity Characterizing the Topological Nature of Structural Isomers of Saturated Hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this paper, a topological index Z is proposed for a connected graph G representing the carbon skeleton of a saturated hydrocarbon, where Z is the sum of a set of the numbers p(G,k), which is the number of ways in which such k bonds are so chosen from G that no two of them are connected.
