Biochemical and phylogenetic networks-I: hypertrees and corona products

We have obtained graph-theoretically based topological indices for the characterization of certain graph theoretical networks of biochemical interest. We have derived certain distance, degree and eccentricity based topological indices for various k-level hypertrees and corona product of hypertrees. We have also pointed out errors in a previous study. The validity of our results is supported by computer codes for the respective indices. Several biochemical applications are pointed out.

Automated summary

Graph-theoretically based topological indices were used to characterize biochemical graph theoretical networks. Distance, degree, and eccentricity based topological indices for various k-level hypertrees and corona product of hypertrees were derived. Errors in a previous study were identified, and the validity of the results was supported by computer codes for the respective indices. Several biochemical applications were also pointed out.
