The General (α,3)-Path Connectivity Indices of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

The general (α,t)-path connectivity index of a molecular graph originates from many practical problems such as three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity (3D QSAR) and molecular chirality. It is defined as Rtα(G)=∑Pt=vi1vi2⋯vit+1⊆G[d(vi1)d(vi2)⋯d(vit+1)]α, where the summation is taken over al...

description The general (α,t)-path connectivity index of a molecular graph originates from many practical problems such as three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity (3D QSAR) and molecular chirality. It is defined as Rtα(G)=∑Pt=vi1vi2⋯vit+1⊆G[d(vi1)d(vi2)⋯d(vit+1)]α, where the summation is taken over all possible paths of length t of G and we do not distinguish between the paths vi1vi2⋯vit+1 and vit+1⋯vi2vi1. In this paper, we focus on the structures of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHn), which play a role in organic materials and medical sciences. We try to compute the exact general (α,3)-path connectivity indices of this family of hydrocarbon structures. Furthermore, we exactly derive the monotonicity and the extremal values of R3α(PAHn) for any real number α. These valuable results could produce strong guiding significance to these applied sciences.
