TL;DR: The geometrical arithmetic index (GA) as discussed by the authors is a topological index based on the end-vertex degrees of edges and its basic features are presented in this paper.
Abstract: Research on the topological indices based on end-vertex degrees of edges has been intensively rising recently. Randic index, one of the best-known topological indices in chemical graph theory, is belonging to this class of indices. In this paper, we introduce a novel topological index based on the end-vertex degrees of edges and its basic features are presented here. We named it as geometrical-arithmetic index (GA).

TL;DR: The electrotopological state, a novel representation of atoms in molecules, is developed from chemical graph theory as an index of the graph vertex (or skeletal group), which combines both the electronic character and the topological environment of each skeletal atom in a molecule.
Abstract: The electrotopological state, a novel representation of atoms in molecules, is developed from chemical graph theory as an index of the graph vertex (or skeletal group). This new index combines both the electronic character and the topological environment of each skeletal atom in a molecule. The electrotopological state (E-state) of a skeletal atom is formulated as an intrinsic value I i plus a perturbation term, ΔI i , arising from the electronic interaction and modified by the molecular topological environment of each atom in the molecule
