Topological indices are numerical parameters of a graph which characterize its topology. The second degree of a vertex in a graph is equal to the number of its second neighbors. In this paper, we will compute leap Zagreb indices and leap hyper-Zagreb indices of Jahangir graph and its line graph based on the 2-distance degree of the vertices. Moreover we will compute the same indices for the subdivision graph and the line graph of the subdivision of Jahangir graph.
Chemical graph theory, a branch of mathematical chemistry, applies graph theory to mathematical modeling of chemical phenomena. Topological indices are real numbers that are presented as graph parameters (e.g. the degree of vertices, distances, etc.) introduced during studies conducted on the molecular graphs in chemistry and can describe some physical and chemical properties of molecules.
Let \(G\) be a simple and connected graph with order \(V(G)\) and size \(E(G)\subseteq V(G) \times V(G)\). The degree \(d_u\) of any vertex \(u\) is defined as the number of vertices joined to that vertex \(u\). The distance between two vertices \(u\) and \(v\) of a graph \(G\) is the number of edges in a shortest path connecting them and is denoted by \(d(u, v)\). The subdivision graph \(S(G)\) is a graph resulting from the subdivision of all the edges of \(G\). The line graph \(L(G)\) of a graph \(G\) whose vertices are the edges of \(G\), with \(uv\in E(L(G))\) when \(u\) and \(v\) have a common end point in \(G\). In structural chemistry, line graph of a graph \(G\) is very useful. The first topological indices on the basis of line graph was introduced by Bertz in 1981 (see [1]). The topological indices of Jahangir graph and its line graph are computed by many researchers (see [2, 3, 4, 5]).
For a vertex \(v\) in \(G\), the open \(k-\)neighborhood of \(v\) is defined as \(N_{k}(v/G) = \{u \in V(G): d(u, v) = k\}\), where \(k\) is a positive integer. The \(k-\)distance degree, denoted by \(d_{k}(v/G)\), of a vertex \(v \in V(G)\) is the number of \(k-\)neighbors of \(v\) in \(G\), \(i.e.,\) \(d_k(v/G) = |N_k(v/G)|\). It is clear that \(d_1(v/G) = d_v\) for every \(v \in V(G)\). The \(2-\)distance degree of a vertex \(v\) consists of all vertices at distance two to \(v\).
Recently, leap Zagreb indices of a graph have been introduced by Naji et al., (see [6]), depending on \(2-\)distance degree of the vertices. The leap Zagreb indices have several chemical applications. The first leap Zagreb index has very good correlation with physical properties of chemical compounds like boiling point, entropy, \(DHVAP\), \(HVAP\) and accentric factor (see [7]). Shiladhar et al., computed leap Zagreb indices of some wheel related graphs (see [8]). For more details about leap indices, see [9, 10, 11, 12].
For a graph \(G\), the first, second, and third leap Zagreb indices are defined as:Theorem 1. Let \(J_{n,m}\) be the Jahangir graph, then
Proof. Let \(J_{n,m}\) be a Jahangir graph with \(m(n+1)\) edges and \(mn+1\) vertices as shown in Figure 1. For an edge \(uv \in E(J_{n,m})\), the \(2-\)distance degree of a vertex \(u\) and vertex \(v\) is denoted by \(d_2(u/J_{n,m})\) and \(d_2(v/J_{n,m})\) respectively. The edge partition of \(J_{n,m}\) with respect to \(2-\)distance degree of vertices of \(J_{n,m}\) is shown in Table 1. The vertex partition of graph \(J_{n,m}\) based on the \(1-\)distance degree of a vertex \(u\) and \(2-\)distance degree of a vertex \(u\) is shown in Table 2.
