Topological Characterizations and Index-Analysis of New Degree-Based Descriptors of Honeycomb Networks

Topological indices and connectivity polynomials are invariants of molecular graphs. These invariants have the tendency of predicting the properties of the molecular structures. The honeycomb network structure is an important type of benzene network. In the present article, new topological characterizations of honeycomb networks are given in the form of degree-based descriptors. In particular, we compute Zagreb and Forgotten polynomials and some topological indices such as the hyper-Zagreb index, first and second multiple Zagreb indices and the Forgotten index, F. We, for the first time, determine some regularity indices such as the Albert index, Bell index and IRM (G) index, as well as the F-index of the complement of the honeycomb network and several co-indices related to this network without considering the graph of its complement or even the line graph. These indices are useful for correlating the physio-chemical properties of the honeycomb network. We also give a graph theoretic analysis of some indices against the dimension of this network.
