摘要
In analogy to graphs, the Wiener index W(D) of a digraph D is defined as the sum of all distances, where of course, each ordered pair of vertices has to be taken into account. In order to do so, if there is no directed path from u to v in D, we follow the convention that d(D)(u, v) = 0, which was independently introduced in several studies of directed networks. Under this assumption several interesting properties of general digraphs were proved previously. In this paper, we investigate digraphs with the third and the fourth maximum Wiener index among all digraphs of order n >= 6. We conclude the paper with an open problem.
