Abstract

The resistance distance r(u,v) between vertices u and v of a connected (molecular) graph G is computed as the effective resistance between nodes u and v in the corresponding network constructed from G by replacing each edge of G with a unit resistor. The Kirchhoff index Kf(G) is the sum of resistance distances between all pairs of vertices. In this work, an explicit closed-form formula for Kirchhoff index of the nanostar dendrimer NS[n] is derived according to a recursive relation of resistance distances, and the Kirchhoff index of NS[n] is approximately to 7/9 of its Wiener index and 7/15 of its detour index, respectively..

Keywords
