Contraction Formulas For Kirchhoff And Wiener Indices
Abstract
We establish several contraction formulas for Kirchhoff index. We relate Kirchhoff index with some other metrized graph invariants. By applying our contraction formulas successively when the graph is a tree, we derive new formulas for Wiener index and obtain some previously known Wiener index formulas with new proofs.
