The expected values of arithmetic bond connectivity and geometric indices in random phenylene chains

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Phenylenes are a class of conjugated hydrocarbons composed of a special arrangement of six- and four-membered rings. In this paper, the expected values of the atom-bond connectivity (ABC), geometric-arithmetic (GA), and Zagreb indices of this class of conjugated hydrocarbons have been determined. At the end, the comparisons with respect to the random phenylene chains among the expected values of these indices, have been determined explicitly. The graphical profiles of these indices have been shown in order to support our results.
