On Minimum Wiener Polarity Index of Unicyclic Graphs with Prescribed Maximum Degree

The Wiener polarity index of a connected graph G is defined as the number of its pairs of vertices that are at distance three. By introducing some graph transformations, in different way with that of Huang et al., 2013, we determine the minimum Wiener polarity index of unicyclic graphs with any give...
