The gaps between topological indices of dominating David derived networks
Abstract
The application of graph theory has been shown to be a valuable tool in the discipline of chemistry. It provides a valuable means of understanding the molecular structures commonly used in chemistry. For this reason, topological indices are employed which are numerical invariants and play an important role in the analysis of graph structures. In this study, we investigate topological properties of dominating David derived networks for the first, second and third types, namely the gaps between arithmetic-geometric and Randic as well as geometric-arithmetic and Randic indices. These results make easier to understand the underlying topologies of dominating David derived networks.
