Degree distance and Gutman index of two graph products

Abstract

The degree distance was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman as a weighted version of the Wiener index. In this paper, we investigate the degree distance and Gutman index of complete, and strong product graphs by using the adjacency and distance matrices of a graph.

Keywords

• Degree distance,Adjacency matrix,Distance matrix,Complete product,Strong product
