Mathematical modeling and topological graph description of dominating David derived networks based on edge partitions

Abstract

AbstractChemical graph theory is a well-established discipline within chemistry that employs discrete mathematics to represent the physical and biological characteristics of chemical substances. In the realm of chemical compounds, graph theory-based topological indices are commonly employed to depict their geometric structure. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the degree-based topological indices of dominating David derived networks (DDDN) and assess their effectiveness. DDDNs are widely used in analyzing the structural and functional characteristics of complex networks in various fields such as biology, social sciences, and computer science. We considered the FN*, $${M}_{2}^{*}$$ M 2 ∗ , and $${HM}_{N}$$ HM N topological indices for DDDNs. Our computations' findings provide a clear understanding of the topology of networks that have received limited study. These computed indices exhibit a high level of accuracy when applied to the investigation of QSPRs and QSARs, as they demonstrate the strongest correlation with the acentric factor and entropy.
