Doslic 1Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb, S. Sedghi Department of Mathematics, Qaemshahr Branch, Islamic Azad University, Qaemshar, Iran N. Shobe Department of Mathematics, Babol Branch, Islamic Azad University, Babol, Iran Journal Article 2016 01 01 We show how generalized Zagreb indices $M_1^k(G)$ can be computed by using a simple graph polynomial and Stirling numbers of the second kind. In that way we explain and clarify the meaning of a triangle of numbers used to establish the same result in an earlier reference. https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_15092_b7bb85d9dbe4ac40d6d223adc42453dd.pdf
