Reflections on M-polynomial and Related Topological Indices of Nanostar Dendrimers
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This commentary addresses flaws discovered in Munir et al.’s recent paper [VI] on the M-Polynomial and associated topological descriptors of dendrimers. Our examination reveals inconsistencies in numerous critical aspects of their work. First, the figures representing the nanostar dendrimer formations must be more accurate. This means that the pictures used to depict the production of these molecules need to be revised. Second, flaws exist within the formulae used for the computations. Finally, based on incorrect formulae and figures, the claimed computational findings must be corrected. We suggest a complete correction approach to ensure the correctness of Munir et al.’s [VI] findings on nanostar dendrimers. It includes supplying corrected figures that accurately portray the nanostar dendrimer structures and removing the inconsistencies in the previous images. In addition, we will use revised notations to ensure that all parameters used in computations are explicitly and consistently described to eliminate ambiguities. Furthermore, we will provide the Accurate Formula for the Symmetric Division Index, which is critical for achieving precise results. Finally, all topological indices will be recalculated using these modifications with the revised figures and formulae to represent the genuine values. These corrections are necessary to give the validity of the results and pave the path for future research in this field.
