TLDR
The Wiener index W is the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices of a (connected) graph as discussed by the authors, defined as the distance between all vertices in a graph.
Abstract
The Wiener index W is the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices of a (connected) graph. The paper outlines the results known for W of trees: methods for computation of W and combinatorial expressions for W for various classes of trees, the isomorphism–discriminating power of W, connections between W and the center and centroid of a tree, as well as between W and the Laplacian eigenvalues, results on the Wiener indices of the line graphs of trees, on trees extremal w.r.t. W, and on integers which cannot be Wiener indices of trees. A few conjectures and open problems are mentioned, as well as the applications of W in chemistry, communication theory and elsewhere.

The Terminal Wiener Index of Trees with Diameter or Maximum Degree

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a sharp upper and lower bound for the terminal Wiener index in terms of its order and diameter and characterised all extremal trees which attain these bounds.

The multiplicative version of wiener index

TL;DR: The multiplicative version of Wiener index (index) is equal to the product of the distances between all pairs of vertices of a (molecular) graph G as mentioned in this paper.

q-Wiener index of some compound trees

TL;DR: In this article, formulas are obtained for computing the q-Wiener indices of some compound trees, and these generalize expressions, earlier known to hold for W. The q-analogs of W were conceived, motivated by the theory of hypergeometric series.

Complexity of splits reconstruction for low-degree trees

TL;DR: This work considers the problem of constructing a tree on V whose splits correspond to S, and shows that the problem is strongly NP-complete when T is required to be a path, and the problem when the vertex weights are not given but can be freely chosen by an algorithm.

THE LAPLACIAN SPECTRUM OF GRAPHS y

Bojan Mohar
TL;DR: A survey of known results about the spectrum of the Laplacian matrix of graphs with special emphasis on the second smallest Lapla-cian eigenvalue 2 and its relation to numerous graph invariants, including connectivity, expanding properties, isoperimetric number, maximum cut, independence number, genus, diameter, mean distance, and bandwidth-type parameters of a graph is given in this article.
