Abstract:

Hosoya index and Merrifield-Simmons index are two important topological parameters in chemical graph theory. Let G1 G2 ...Gn be a family of disjoint stars the tree obtained by joining a new vertex to one pendant vertex of each star Gi is called a banana tree. In this paper by analyzing components in graph theory the number of all Sn -factors of any banana tree is derived further explicit formula of Hosoya index of a banana tree is gained. Finally in a similar vein explicit formula of Merrifield-Simmons index of a banana tree is presented.

Key words: banana tree, S (n )-factor, Hosoya index, Merrifield-Simmons index
