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.

Wiener odd and even indices on BC-Trees

TL;DR: It is theoretically that Wiener odd index is not more than its even index for general BC-Trees and closed formulae of the two indices are provided for path BC-tree, star, k-extending star tree and caterpillar BC- tree.

On the extremal graphs with respect to the total reciprocal edge-eccentricity

TL;DR: This paper first characterize the unique graph with the maximum total reciprocal edge-eccentricity among all graphs with a given number of cut vertices, and determines the k -connected bipartite graphs of order n with diameter d having themaximum total reciprocal edges.

A note on topological indices and the twin classes of graphs

TL;DR: In this paper , it was shown that computing the Steiner Wiener index of a graph can be reduced to the same for a much smaller graph, called the reduced graph of the graph.

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.
