We present explicit formula for the general Randic connectivity general sum-connectivity Hyper-Zagreb and Harmonic Indicesand Harmonic polynomial of some simple connected molecular graphs
1 Introduction
In this paper we consider only simple connected graphswithout loops and multiple edges A connected graph is agraph such that there is a path between all pairs of verticesLet 119866 = (119881 119864) be an arbitrary simple connected graphwe denote the vertex set and the edge set of 119866 by 119881(119866)
and 119864(119866) respectively For two vertices 119906 and V of 119881(119866)the distance between 119906 and V is denoted by 119889(119906 V) anddefined as the length of any shortest path connecting 119906
and V in 119866 For a vertex V of 119881(119866) the degree of V isdenoted by 119889V and is the number of vertices of 119866 adjacent toV
In chemical graph theory we have many invariant poly-nomials and topological indices for a molecular graph Atopological index is a numerical value for correlation ofchemical structure with various physical properties chemicalreactivity or biological activity [1ndash3]
One of the oldest topological indices or moleculardescriptors is the Zagreb index that has been introducedmore than forty years ago by Gutman and Trinajstic in 1972[4]
Now we know that for a molecular graph 119866 = (119881 119864) thefirst Zagreb index119872
1(119866) and the secondZagreb index119872
2(119866)
are defined as
1198721(119866) = sum

Recently a new version of Zagreb indices named Hyper-Zagreb index was introduced by Shirdel et al in 2013 [5] andit is defined as
119867119872(119866) = sum
119890=119906V isin119864(119866)(119889119906+ 119889V)2

In 1975 Randic proposed a structural descriptor calledthe branching index [31] that later became the well-knownRandic molecular connectivity index Motivated by the defi-nition of Randic connectivity index based on the end-vertexdegrees of edges in a graph defined as the sum of the weights(119889119906119889V)minus12 of all edges 119906V of 119866

Later the Randic connectivity index had been extendedas the general Randic connectivity index which is defined asthe sum of the weights (119889
119906119889V)120572
(forall120572 isin Q) and is equal to
119877120572(119866) = sum

(4)
Also a closely related variant of Randic connectivityindex called the sum-connectivity index was introduced byZhou and Trinajstic in 2008 [32 33] The sum-connectivityindex 119883(119866) is defined as
119883 (119866) = sum

The general sum-connectivity index of a graph 119866 is equalto (forall120572 isin Q)

In 1987 [34] Fajtlowicz introduced the Harmonic index119867(119866) of a graph 119866 which is defined as the sum of the weights2(119889119906119889V)minus1 of forall119906V isin 119866 and is equal to

TheHarmonic index is one of the most important indicesin chemical and mathematical fields It is a variant of theRandic index which is themost successful molecular descrip-tor in structure-property and structure activity relationshipsstudies The Harmonic index gives somewhat better correla-tions with physical and chemical properties compared withthe well-known Randic index Estimating bounds for 119867(119866)
is of great interest and many results have been obtainedFor example Favaron et al [35] considered the relationshipbetween the Harmonic index and the eigenvalues of graphsand Zhong [36ndash38] determined theminimum andmaximumvalues of the Harmonic index for simple connected graphstrees unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs and characterizedthe corresponding extremal graphs respectively It turns outthat trees with maximum andminimumHarmonic index arethe path 119875
119899and the star 119878
119899 respectively
Recently Iranmanesh and Salehi [39] introduced theHarmonic polynomial 119867(119866 119909) of a graph 119866 which is equalto
119867(119866 119909) = sum

We encourage the reader to consult [40ndash43] for morehistory and mathematical properties of the Randic index andthe Harmonic index
In this paper we present explicit formula for the gen-eral Randic connectivity general sum-connectivity Hyper-Zagreb and Harmonic Indices and Harmonic polynomial ofsome hydrocarbon molecular graphs
2 Results and Discussion
In this section we compute the general Randic connectivitygeneral sum-connectivity indices the Hyper-Zagreb andHarmonic Indices and Harmonic polynomial of a family ofhydrocarbonmolecules which are called PolycyclicAromaticHydrocarbons PAH
119896(forall119896 isin N)
The Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons PAH119896is a family
of hydrocarbonmolecules such that its structure is consistingof cycles with length six (benzene) The Polycyclic AromaticHydrocarbons can be thought of as small pieces of graphenesheets with the free valences of the dangling bonds saturatedby 119867 Vice versa a graphene sheet can be interpreted asan infinite PAH molecule Successful utilization of PAHmolecules in modeling graphite surfaces has been reportedearlier [44ndash52] and references therein Some first membersand a general representation of this hydrocarbon molecularfamily are shown in Figures 1 and 2

Theorem 5 Consider the Polycyclic Aromatic HydrocarbonsPAH119896 Then
(i) the Harmonic index of PAH119896is equal to forall119896 isin N
119867(119875119860119867119896) = 3119896

(ii) the Harmonic polynomial of PAH119896is equal to forall119896 isin N
119867(119875119860119867119896 119909) = 12119896119909

Before presenting themain results consider the followingdefinition
Definition 6 (see [10]) Let119866 be a simple connectedmoleculargraph We divide the vertex set 119881(119866) and edge set 119864(119866) of 119866based on the degrees 119889V of a vertexatom V in 119866 Obviously1 le 119889V le 119899 minus 1 and we denote the minimum and maximumof the 119889V by 120575 and Δ respectively

Proof of Theorem 2 Let PAH119896be the Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbon for all integer numbers 119896 From the generalrepresentation of PAH
119896in Figure 2 one can see that in
this hydrocarbon molecular family there are 61198962+ 6119896 ver-
ticesatoms (= |119881(PAH119896)|) such that 61198962 of them are carbon
atoms and also 6119896 of them are hydrogen atoms In otherwords
1198813= 119881119862
= V isin 119881 (PAH119896) | 119889V = 3
1198811= 119881119867
= V isin 119881 (PAH119896) | 119889V = 1
(17)
Thus there are (3 times 61198962
+ 1 times 6119896)2 = 91198962
+ 3119896
edgeschemical bonds (= |119864(PAH119899)|) in PAH
119896
Now by usingDefinition 6 and according to Figure 2 onecan see that in hydrocarbon molecules PAH
119896all hydrogen
atoms have one connection and the degree of them is119889Hydrogen = 1 and there are 3 edgeschemical bonds for allcarbon atoms thus 119889Carbon = 3
Therefore we have two partitions of the vertex set119881(PAH
119899) of Polycyclic Aromatic

In 1975 Randic proposed a structural descriptor calledthe branching index [31] that later became the well-knownRandic molecular connectivity index Motivated by the defi-nition of Randic connectivity index based on the end-vertexdegrees of edges in a graph defined as the sum of the weights(119889119906119889V)minus12 of all edges 119906V of 119866

Later the Randic connectivity index had been extendedas the general Randic connectivity index which is defined asthe sum of the weights (119889
119906119889V)120572
(forall120572 isin Q) and is equal to
119877120572(119866) = sum

(4)
Also a closely related variant of Randic connectivityindex called the sum-connectivity index was introduced byZhou and Trinajstic in 2008 [32 33] The sum-connectivityindex 119883(119866) is defined as
119883 (119866) = sum

In 1987 [34] Fajtlowicz introduced the Harmonic index119867(119866) of a graph 119866 which is defined as the sum of the weights2(119889119906119889V)minus1 of forall119906V isin 119866 and is equal to

TheHarmonic index is one of the most important indicesin chemical and mathematical fields It is a variant of theRandic index which is themost successful molecular descrip-tor in structure-property and structure activity relationshipsstudies The Harmonic index gives somewhat better correla-tions with physical and chemical properties compared withthe well-known Randic index Estimating bounds for 119867(119866)
is of great interest and many results have been obtainedFor example Favaron et al [35] considered the relationshipbetween the Harmonic index and the eigenvalues of graphsand Zhong [36ndash38] determined theminimum andmaximumvalues of the Harmonic index for simple connected graphstrees unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs and characterizedthe corresponding extremal graphs respectively It turns outthat trees with maximum andminimumHarmonic index arethe path 119875
119899and the star 119878
119899 respectively
Recently Iranmanesh and Salehi [39] introduced theHarmonic polynomial 119867(119866 119909) of a graph 119866 which is equalto
119867(119866 119909) = sum

We encourage the reader to consult [40ndash43] for morehistory and mathematical properties of the Randic index andthe Harmonic index
In this paper we present explicit formula for the gen-eral Randic connectivity general sum-connectivity Hyper-Zagreb and Harmonic Indices and Harmonic polynomial ofsome hydrocarbon molecular graphs
2 Results and Discussion
In this section we compute the general Randic connectivitygeneral sum-connectivity indices the Hyper-Zagreb andHarmonic Indices and Harmonic polynomial of a family ofhydrocarbonmolecules which are called PolycyclicAromaticHydrocarbons PAH
119896(forall119896 isin N)
The Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons PAH119896is a family
of hydrocarbonmolecules such that its structure is consistingof cycles with length six (benzene) The Polycyclic AromaticHydrocarbons can be thought of as small pieces of graphenesheets with the free valences of the dangling bonds saturatedby 119867 Vice versa a graphene sheet can be interpreted asan infinite PAH molecule Successful utilization of PAHmolecules in modeling graphite surfaces has been reportedearlier [44ndash52] and references therein Some first membersand a general representation of this hydrocarbon molecularfamily are shown in Figures 1 and 2

119867119872(PAH119896) = 12119896 (27119896 minus 1) (10)
Theorem 3 (see [46]) The Randic connectivity and sum-connectivity indices of the Polycyclic Aromatic HydrocarbonsPAH119896(forall119896 isin N) are equal to

119896) = 21205723119896 (3120572+1
119896 minus 3120572+ 2120572+1
) (13)
Theorem 5 Consider the Polycyclic Aromatic HydrocarbonsPAH119896 Then
(i) the Harmonic index of PAH119896is equal to forall119896 isin N
119867(119875119860119867119896) = 3119896

(ii) the Harmonic polynomial of PAH119896is equal to forall119896 isin N
119867(119875119860119867119896 119909) = 12119896119909

Before presenting themain results consider the followingdefinition
Definition 6 (see [10]) Let119866 be a simple connectedmoleculargraph We divide the vertex set 119881(119866) and edge set 119864(119866) of 119866based on the degrees 119889V of a vertexatom V in 119866 Obviously1 le 119889V le 119899 minus 1 and we denote the minimum and maximumof the 119889V by 120575 and Δ respectively

Proof of Theorem 2 Let PAH119896be the Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbon for all integer numbers 119896 From the generalrepresentation of PAH
119896in Figure 2 one can see that in
this hydrocarbon molecular family there are 61198962+ 6119896 ver-
ticesatoms (= |119881(PAH119896)|) such that 61198962 of them are carbon
atoms and also 6119896 of them are hydrogen atoms In otherwords
1198813= 119881119862
= V isin 119881 (PAH119896) | 119889V = 3
1198811= 119881119867
= V isin 119881 (PAH119896) | 119889V = 1
(17)
Thus there are (3 times 61198962
+ 1 times 6119896)2 = 91198962
+ 3119896
edgeschemical bonds (= |119864(PAH119899)|) in PAH
119896
Now by usingDefinition 6 and according to Figure 2 onecan see that in hydrocarbon molecules PAH
119896all hydrogen
atoms have one connection and the degree of them is119889Hydrogen = 1 and there are 3 edgeschemical bonds for allcarbon atoms thus 119889Carbon = 3
Therefore we have two partitions of the vertex set119881(PAH
119899) of Polycyclic Aromatic

(i) the Harmonic index of PAH119896is equal to forall119896 isin N
119867(119875119860119867119896) = 3119896

Before presenting themain results consider the followingdefinition
Definition 6 (see [10]) Let119866 be a simple connectedmoleculargraph We divide the vertex set 119881(119866) and edge set 119864(119866) of 119866based on the degrees 119889V of a vertexatom V in 119866 Obviously1 le 119889V le 119899 minus 1 and we denote the minimum and maximumof the 119889V by 120575 and Δ respectively

Proof of Theorem 2 Let PAH119896be the Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbon for all integer numbers 119896 From the generalrepresentation of PAH
119896in Figure 2 one can see that in
this hydrocarbon molecular family there are 61198962+ 6119896 ver-
ticesatoms (= |119881(PAH119896)|) such that 61198962 of them are carbon
atoms and also 6119896 of them are hydrogen atoms In otherwords
1198813= 119881119862
= V isin 119881 (PAH119896) | 119889V = 3
1198811= 119881119867
= V isin 119881 (PAH119896) | 119889V = 1
(17)
Thus there are (3 times 61198962
+ 1 times 6119896)2 = 91198962
+ 3119896
edgeschemical bonds (= |119864(PAH119899)|) in PAH
119896
Now by usingDefinition 6 and according to Figure 2 onecan see that in hydrocarbon molecules PAH
119896all hydrogen
atoms have one connection and the degree of them is119889Hydrogen = 1 and there are 3 edgeschemical bonds for allcarbon atoms thus 119889Carbon = 3
Therefore we have two partitions of the vertex set119881(PAH
119899) of Polycyclic Aromatic
