On certain topological indices of the derived graphs of subdivision graphs

Abstract

The derived graph [G]† of a graph G is the graph having the same vertex set as G, with two vertices of [G]† being adjacent if and only if their distance in G is two. Topological indices are valuable in the study of QSAR/QSPR. There are numerous applications of graph theory in the field of structural chemistry. In this paper, we compute generalized Randi´c, general Zagreb, general sum-connectivity, ABC, GA, ABC4, and GA5 indices of the derived graphs of subdivision graphs.
