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.

Optimising Robustness of Consensus to Noise on Directed Networks

TL;DR: This dissertation focuses on understanding the role played by a directed communication graph in the ability of a group to maintain consensus in noisy environments, and derives rules by which local changes can be made that will guarantee that the robustness of the entire system will improve.

Distances and isomorphisms in 4-regular circulant graphs

TL;DR: In this article, the Hosoya polynomial of the Cayley graph of cyclic groups is computed and the order 17 is the smallest case providing two non-isomorphic 4-regular circulant graphs with the same Wiener index.

Wiener Index of Graphs and Their Line Graphs

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for λ = 2 there is an infinite family of planar bipartite chemical graphs G of girth 4 with the cyclomatic number λ, but their line graphs are not chemical graphs.

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.
