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 Wiener, the hyper-Wiener and the degree distance indices of the bar polyhex graph

TL;DR: In this article, Kordala, El Marraki, Mohamed El-Marraki and Mohamed Essalih gave some theoretical results of the Wiener index W (Gp) and the 8772 Ayoub Kordalla, Mohamed el Marraaki and MohamedEssalih Hyper-Wiener index WW (GP) for a bar polyhex graph withe p hexagons Gp, using dGp(k), the number of pairs of vertices of Gp that have the same distance k ), and the diameter of GP.

Disturbance Propagation in Interconnected Linear Dynamical Networks

TL;DR: Several existing performance measures in real–world applications, such as total power loss in sync hronous power networks and flock energy of a group of autonomous vehicles in a formation, are indeed spec ial forms of Laplacian energies.

On the Wiener Indices of Trees Ordering by Diameter-Growing Transformation Relative to the Pendent Edges

TL;DR: In this article, a graph transformation named diameter-growing transformation relative to pendent edges, which increases the Wiener index of a tree sharply after finite steps, was proposed and twenty-two trees were ordered by their Wiener indices.

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.
