Java-based program for computing the wiener index of a body-centered cubic graph

Abstract EN

In chemical graph theory, Wiener index is a topological index of a molecule.

The Wiener index of a graph G is equal to the sum of distances between all pairs of distinct vertices of G.

It has been one of main descriptors that correlate a chemical compound’s molecular graph with experimentally gathered data regarding the compound’s characteristics.

In this paper we calculate the Wiener index for body-centered cubic grid connected in a line.

A Java-based program is designed to automatically compute the distances between centers, centers and border vertices, border vertices and the sum of all distances (Wiener index) for such grid.
