摘要
The Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph G, denoted by i(G), is defined to be the total number of its independent sets, including the empty set. Let theta(a(1), a(2), ..., a(k)) denote the graph obtained by connecting two distinct vertices with k independent paths of lengths a(1), a(2), ..., a(k) respectively, we named it as multi-bridge graphs for convenience. Tight upper and lower bounds for the Merrifield-Simmons index of theta(a(1), a(2), ..., a(k)) are established in this paper.
