Maxima and Minima of the Hosoya Index and the Merrifield-Simmons Index

TL;DR: The Hosoya index and the Merrifield-Simmons index are typical examples of graph invariants used in mathematical chemistry for quantifying relevant details of molecular structure as discussed by the authors.

A Unified Approach to the Extremal Zagreb Indices for Trees, Unicyclic Graphs and Bicyclic Graphs 1

Hanyuan Deng
TL;DR: In this article, a unified and simple approach to the largest and smallest Zagreb indices for trees, unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs was presented, and characterized for these graphs.

On the hardness of approximate reasoning

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the problem of estimating the number of satisfiability assignments is computationally intractable even if we settle for an approximation to the probability of a propositional expression being true.

On the hardness of approximate reasoning

TL;DR: It is proved that counting satisfying assignments of propositional languages is intractable even for Horn and monotone formulae, and even when the size of clauses and number of occurrences of the variables are extremely limited.
