Topological Indices of Nanotubes : An Overview

Authors(1) :-Sufia Aziz

The study of topological indices of graphs and therefore of carbon nanotubes is a very important part of graph theory and thus nanotechnology. A topological index is a real number related to a graph. There are several topological indices used in chemical graph theory, however, a very few of them are found useful in nanotechnology for solving structural problems related to carbon nanotubes. In this article a brief summary on the development of Wiener, Szeged and Padmakar-Ivan indices for carbon nanotubes is given.
