Description
Summary:Nanostar dendrimers are tree-like nanostructures with a well-defined, symmetrical architecture. They are built in a step-by-step, controlled synthesis process, with each layer or generation building on the previous one. Dendrimers are made up of a central core, a series of repeating units or branches, and a surface group shell. A weighted graph is a type of graph in which vertices or edges are assigned weights that represent cost, distance, and a variety of other relative measuring units. The weighted graphs have many applications and properties in a mathematical context. The topological indices are numerical values that represent the symmetry of a molecular structure. They have rich applications in theoretical chemistry. Various topological indices can be used to investigate a wide range of properties of chemical compounds with a molecular structure. They are very important in mathematical chemistry, especially in quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) studies. In this paper, we examine the topological properties of the molecular graphs of nanostar dendrimers. For this purpose, the topological indices, namely, the Wiener index and the Wiener polarity index are computed for a class of nanostar dendrimers.
