ON THE WIENER INDEX OF F_H SUMS OF GRAPHS

Abstract

Wiener index is the first among the long list of topological indices which was used to correlate structural and chemical properties of molecular graphs. In \cite{Eli} M. Eliasi, B. Taeri defined four new sums of graphs based on the subdivision of edges with regard to the cartesian product and computed their Wiener index. In this paper, we define a new class of sums called $F_H$ sums and compute the Wiener index of the resulting graph in terms of the Wiener indices of the component graphs so that the results in \cite{Eli} becomes a particular case of the Wiener index of $F_H$ sums for $H = K_1$, the complete graph on a single vertex.
