Some relations between distance–based polynomials of treesI. GutmanFaculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, P. O. Box 60, 34000 Kragujevac, Serbia and MontenegroAbstract: The Hosoya polynomial $H(G,\lambda)$ of a graph $G$ has the property that its first derivative at $\lambda=1$ is equal to the Wiener index. Sometime ago two distance-based graph invariants were studied – the Schultz index $S$ and its modification $S^\ast$ . We construct distance–based graph polynomials $H_1(G,\lambda)$ and $H_2(G,\lambda)$ , such that their first derivatives at $\lambda=1$ are, respectively, equal to $S$ and $S^\ast$ . In case of trees, $H_1(G,\lambda)$ and $H_2(G,\lambda)$ are related with $H(G,\lambda)$ . Keywords: Graph polynomial, distance (in graph), tree, Wiener index, Schultz index Classification (MSC2000): 05C12, 05C05 Full text of the article: (for faster download, first choose a mirror)
