Abstract:
Topological graph indices have been used in a lot
of areas to study required properties of different objects such as
atoms and molecules. Such indices have been described and studied
by many mathematicians and chemists since most graphs are generated
from molecules by replacing each atom with a vertex and each chemical
bond with an edge. These indices are also topological graph invariants
measuring several chemical, physical, biological, pharmacological,
pharmaceutical, etc. properties of graphs corresponding to real
life situations. The degree-based topological indices are used to
correlate the physical and chemical properties of a molecule with its
chemical structure. Boron nanotubular structures are high-interest
materials due to the presence of multicenter bonds and have novel
electronic properties. These materials have some important issues
in nanodevice applications like mechanical and thermal stability.
Therefore, they require theoretical studies on the other properties.
In this paper, we compute the third Zagreb index,
harmonic index, forgotten index, inverse sum index, modified Zagreb
index and symmetric division deg index by applying subdivision and
semi total point graph for boron triangular and boron-$\alpha$
nanotubes.
Key words:topological indices, Zagreb indices, harmonic index,
forgotten index, inverse sum index and symmetric division deg index,
boron triangular and boron-$\alpha$ nanotubes.
