Choosing the exponent in the definition of the connectivity index

Let du denote the degree of the vertex u of a molecular graph G. Then the connectivity index of G is defined as C (l) = G (l; C) = S (dudu)l, where the summation goes over all pairs of adjacent vertices. The exponent l is usually chosen to be equal to 1/2, but other options were considered as well,...
