摘要
The kth power of a graph G, denoted by G(k), is a graph with the same vertex set as G Such that two vertices are adjacent in G(k) if and only if their distance is at most k in G. The Wiener index is a distance-based topological index defined as the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices in a graph. In this note, we give the bounds on the Wiener index of the graph Gk The Nordhaus-Gaddum-type inequality for the Wiener index of the graph G(k) is also presented. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
