This study explores extremal problems for molecular graph topological indices, focusing on the sigma-index, c-index, and Z-index. It investigates finding graphs with minimal or maximal index values, relevant to drug discovery.

Area of Science:

  • Chemical Graph Theory
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Drug Discovery

Background:

  • Topological indices quantify molecular graph properties and relate to physicochemical characteristics.
  • The inverse problem for topological indices has applications in combinatorial library design for drug discovery.
  • Extremal problems, finding graphs with minimal or maximal indices, are a natural extension of this research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate extremal problems for specific topological indices of molecular graphs.
  • To determine graphs with minimal or maximal sigma-index, c-index, and Z-index values.
  • To emphasize the sigma-index in the context of extremal graph theory.

Main Methods:

  • Graph theory analysis
  • Exploration of extremal graph properties
