Neighborhood M-Polynomial of Crystallographic Structures

Abstract

The mathematical chemistry is wealthy, having tools such as polynomials and functions that can predict the properties of compounds. The M-polynomial is one of them which yields degree-based topological indices. In this work, we define the neighborhood M-polynomial to obtain neighborhood degree-based topological indices. Further, we compute some neighborhood degree-based topological indices of the face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice and the crystallographic structure of cuprous oxide (〖Cu〗_2 O) using the neighborhood M-polynomial approach. Also, the results are shown graphically.
