The {em $M$-polynomial} of $G$ is introduced with $displaystyle{M(G;x,y) = sum_{ile j} m_{ij}(G)x^iy^j}$. It is shown that degree-based topological indices can be routinely computed from the polynomial, thus reducing the problem of their determination in each particular case to the single problem of determining the $M$-polynomial. The new approach is also illustrated with examples.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_10106_9757adf6f41e068e07ffdc82bc9d1b38.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-64896220151001Edge-decomposition of Topological Indices1031081010710.22052/ijmc.2015.10107ENI.GutmanFaculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, Kragujevac, SerbiaJournal Article20150527The topological indices, defined as the sum of contributions of all pairs of vertices (among which are the Wiener, Harary, hyper–Wiener indices, degree distance, and many others), are expressed in terms of contributions of edges and pairs of edges.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_10107_7219f11930f0bb2a7a243517ae34b7d6.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-64896220151001Photoluminescence Quantitative Analysis of Gallic Acid and Caffeine in Green Tea Using Multi-way Chemometric Approaches1091191041010.22052/ijmc.2015.10410ENS.MasoumDepartment of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, University of Kashan, Kashan, I.R.

IranJournal Article20150611Green tea is considered as a dietary source of antioxidant nutrients, which acts upon human health. Green tea leaves contain three main components in the form of simple hydroxy benzoic acids such as gallic acid, propyl gallate and xanthic bases (caffeine), have been reported to prevent or delay a number of degenerative diseases and act mainly upon the central nervous system and stimulating wakefulness. Therefore, it is important to establish a simple and reliable analytical method for determination of these compounds in the presence of unexpected interferences in the green tea sample. In this research, a rapid and sensitive method was used for the direct determination of gallic acid and caffeine in green tea that is based on excitation-emission data using chemometric approaches. Multi-way chemometric models can be used to study such data, providing estimates of the spectra and concentration profiles of the underlying chemical analytes. A high percentage of recoveries for the spiked green tea for gallic acid (i.e. 96.15 %-109.78 %) and caffeine (i.e. 93.75% -101.57%) indicate the high accuracies of the proposed calibration methods for the assessment of gallic acid and caffeine in green teahttps://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_10410_93e154715e1cdd857466860b3bf7ca62.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-64896220151001The Maximal Total Irregularity of Some Connected Graphs1211281042710.22052/ijmc.2015.10427ENM.EliasiJournal Article20141120The total irregularity of a graph G is defined as 〖irr〗_t (G)=1/2 ∑_(u,v∈V(G))▒〖|d_u-d_v |〗, where d_u denotes the degree of a vertex u∈V(G). In this paper by using the Gini index, we obtain the ordering of the total irregularity index for some classes of connected graphs, with the same number of vertices.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_10427_9fae099b55610cd9a9d16305077bd5a4.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-64896220151001The Reliability Wiener Number of Cartesian Product Graphs1291351042810.22052/ijmc.2015.10428END.Rupnik PoklukarUniversity of LjubljanaJ.ZerovnikUniversity of LjubljanaJournal Article20150506Reliability Wiener number is a modification of the original Wiener number in which probabilities are assigned to edges yielding a natural model in which there are some (or all) bonds in the molecule that are not static. Various probabilities naturally allow modelling different types of chemical bonds because chemical bonds are of different types and it is well-known that under certain conditions the bonds can break with certain probability. This is fully taken into account in quantum chemistry. In the model considered here, probabilistic nature is taken into account and at the same time the conceptual simplicity of the discrete graph theoretical model is preserved. Here we extend previous studies by deriving a formula for the reliability Wiener number of a Cartesian product of graphs.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_10428_07180c1016b1b2b03841010eac54b78f.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-64896220151001A Note on Connectivity and Lambda-modified Wiener index1371431042910.22052/ijmc.2015.10429ENW.GaoYunnan normal universityY.Gaoyunnan normal universityJournal Article20150308In theoretical chemistry, -modified Wiener index is a graph invariant topological index to analyze the chemical properties of molecular structure.

The method is based on the symmetric two-step Obrechkoff method, with eighth algebraic order, high phase-lag order and is constructed to solve IVPs with periodic solutions such as orbital problems. We compare the new method to some recently constructed optimized methods from the literature. The numerical results obtained by the new method for some problems show its superiority in efficiency, accuracy and stability.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_10451_e37900e24a74b6f240f6b1f76209f4e0.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-64896220151001Hyper-tubes of Hyper-cubes1631681047910.22052/ijmc.2015.10479ENA.Parvan-MoldovanBabes-Bolyai University, Cluj, RomaniaM.

We study the effect of the changing the average number of viral particles $N$ with different sets of initial conditions on the dynamics of the presented model. The nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme is implemented to study the dynamic behaviors in the fractional--order HIV-1 infection model. Numerical results show that the NSFD approach is easy to be implemented and accurated when applied to fractional-order HIV-1 infection model.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_10843_596181178c783132f395514fe2e6bb51.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-64896220151001Open Problems for Equienergetic Graphs1851871084410.22052/ijmc.2015.10844ENI.GutmanFaculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, Kragujevac, SerbiaJournal Article20150531The energy of a graph is equal to the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. Two graphs of the same order are said to be equienergetic if their energies are equal. We point out the following two open problems for equienergetic graphs. (1) Although it is known that there are numerous pairs of equienergetic, non-cospectral trees, it is not known how to systematically construct any such pair. (2) If by numerical calculation one finds that two non-cospectral graphs seem to be equienergetic, in the general case no method is known for proving that this indeed is the case.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_10844_d32b4f131b209f2425a4517b4c86a2cb.pdf
