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.

Computing Szeged Index of Certain Nanosheets Using Partition Technique

TL;DR: The Szeged index as discussed by the authors is a molecular structure descriptor equal to the sum of products over all edges of the molecular graph G, where neu(e|G )i s the number of vertices whose distance to vertex u is smaller than the distance u to vertex v,a nd wherenev(e |G) is defined analogously.

Stochastically evolving networks.

TL;DR: A class of models for the evolution of networks in which new nodes are recruited into the network atrandom times, and links between existing nodes that are not yet directly connected may also form at random times is discussed.

Trees with extremal Wiener indices

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the trees with order n, diameter d or maximum degree and extremal Wiener indices, and obtained the tree with minimum Wiener index among all the trees of order n and with diameter d.

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.
