Wiener Index of Edge Thorny Graphs of Catacondensed Benzenoids

The Wiener index is a topological index of a molecular graph, defined as the sum of distances between all pairs of its vertices. Benzenoid graphs include molecular graphs of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. An edge thorny graph <i>G</i> is constructed from a catacondensed benzenoid grap...
