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.

On the transmission of uniform unicyclic hypergraphs

Hongying Lin, +1 more
- 29 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the transmission of a connected hypergraph is defined as the summation of distances between all unordered pairs of distinct vertices, and the unique uniform unicyclic hypergraphs of fixed size with minimum and maximum transmissions, respectively, are determined.

Comparing Eccentricity-Based Graph Invariants

TL;DR: It is proved that EDS ≥ EM1 for any connected graph, whereas EDS > EM2 for trees, and in the case of trees, EM1 ≥ CEI, whereas EM2 > CEI for trees with at least three vertices.

Bounds on differences between some graph theoretic invariants

TL;DR: The graph invariants involved in the present work are the proximity, the remoteness, the eccentricity, the average distance, the frequencies of the maximum and minimum degrees, the domination number, the stability number and the chromatic number as discussed by the authors.

Comparative study of distance-based graph invariants

TL;DR: In this paper, Liberti et al. investigated the relationship between RDD and other three graph invariants AEDS, CEI and AD, and showed that AEDs>RDD for any tree with at least three vertices.

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.
