Abstract

The third-order Randić index of a graph G is defined as R3 (G) = ∑u1 u2 u3 u4 frac(1, sqrt(d (u1) d (u2) d (u3) d (u4))), where the summation is taken over all possible paths of length three of G. A recursive formula for computing the third-order Randić index of a hexagonal chain is given in this paper, and the hexagonal chains with the extremal third-order Randić index are characterized. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
