Abstract

Let $G$ be a connected graph, and let $D[G]$ denote the double graph of $G$. In this paper, we first derive closed-form formulas for different distance based topological indices for $D[G]$ in terms of that of $G$. Finally, as illustration examples, for several special kind of graphs, such as, the complete graph, the path, the cycle, etc., the explicit formulas for some distance based topological indices.
