Comparison between the Wiener index and the Zagreb indices and the eccentric connectivity index for trees

Molecular descriptors play an important role in mathematical chemistry, especially in the QSPR and QSAR modeling. Among them, a special place is reserved for the so called topological indices. Nowadays, there exists a legion of topological indices that found applications in various areas of chemistry Todeschini and Consonni (2000, 2009). Recently, we carried out comparison between several topological indices for various classes of graphs and trees (Das et al., 2012; Das and Trinajsti, 2010, 2011, 2012; Horoldagva and Das, 2012; Hua and Das, 2013). In this report, we compare the Wiener index and the Zagreb indices and the eccentric connectivity index for trees.
