On vertex peripherians and Wiener index of graphs with fixed number of cut vertices
摘要
The distance of a vertex in a graph is the sum of distances from that vertex to all other vertices of the graph. The Wiener index of a graph is the sum of distances between all its unordered pairs of vertices. A graph has been obtained that contains a vertex achieving the maximum distance among all graphs on n vertices with fixed number of cut vertices. Further, the graphs having maximum Wiener index among all graphs on n vertices with at most 3 cut vertices have been characterised.
