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.

Investments in social ties, risk sharing, and inequality

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate stable and efficient networks in the context of risk sharing, when it is costly to establish and maintain relationships that facilitate risk sharing and find that the most stable efficient networks also generate the most inequality.

Properties of the Hyper-Wiener index as a local function

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the local version of the Hyper-Wiener index, defined as $ww_G(v)=\sum\limits_{u\in V(G)}(d^2(u,v)+d(u-v))$ for a vertex $v$ in a graph $G$, in trees.

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.
