The general Zagreb index of lattice networks

Abstract

A topological index is a real number which is derived from a network or a graph by mathematically that characterizes the whole of its structural properties. Recently, there are various topological indices that have been introduced in mathematical chemistry to predict the properties of molecular topology. Among, the degree based topological indices such as Zagreb indices, forgotten topological index, redefined Zagreb index, Randic index, general first Zagreb index, symmetric division deg index and hence so forth are most important, because of their chemical significance. In this work, we study the general Zagreb index of hexagonal and triangular lattice networks.
