1. Introduction

Given the importance of topological evidence, which can be deduced from the polynomial by finding the derivative with respect to a specific variable and then compensating for this variable by one value, therefore we have in this paper found the polynomial of Schultz and modified Schultz for a chain of special graphs which is the 4-cycle and 4-cycle complete by identification symmetrical vertices.

In this paper, we can refer to the basic concepts in graph theory and topological indices to the references [1] [2] [3]. Let G = ( V , E ) be a simple connected graph without loop and multi-edges, where V = V ( G ) and E = E ( G ) be a set of vertices and edges of respect to a graph G. The distance between any two vertices of V ( G ) is the shortest path between them which denoted its by d ( u , v ) , u , v V ( G ) and the maximum distance between any two vertices in G is called the diameter graph G, that is: δ = max u , v V ( G ) { d ( u , v ) } . The degree of vertex u in a graph G is the number of the edges which incident on u and denoted by d e g u .

Introduced Schultz index by Schultz in 1989 [4] and in 1997 Klavžar and Gutman were defined the modified Schultz index [5]. The Schultz index S c ( G ) and the modified Schultz index S c ( G ) are have defined as:

S c ( G ) = { u , v } V ( G ) ( d e g v + d e g u ) d ( u , v ) . (1.1)

S c ( G ) = { u , v } V ( G ) ( d e g v d e g u ) d ( u , v ) . (1.2)

The Schultz and modified Schultz polynomials are have defined respectively as:

S c ( G ; x ) = { u , v } V ( G ) ( d e g v + d e g u ) x d ( u , v ) . (1.3)

S c ( G ; x ) = { u , v } V ( G ) ( d e g v d e g u ) x d ( u , v ) . (1.4)

From these polynomials can obtain:

1) The Schultz index:

S c ( G ) = d d x ( S c ( G ; x ) ) | x = 1 . (1.5)

2) The modified Schultz index:

S c * ( G ) = d d x ( S c * ( G ; x ) ) | x = 1 . (1.6)

3) The average distance of Schultz:

S c ¯ ( G ) = 2 S c ( G ) / p ( G ) ( p ( G ) 1 ) (1.7)

4) The average distance of modified Schultz:

S c * ¯ ( G ) = 2 S c * ( G ) / p ( G ) ( p ( G ) 1 ) . (1.8)

where d d x is represent the derivative w.r.t. x and p ( G ) is the order of G.

There are many recent papers on polynomials and indices for Schultz and modified Schultz, see to references [6] [7] [8] and there are applications on Schultz and modified Schultz in chemistry, see to references [9] [10] [11].

Let D k ( r , h ) be the set of all ( u , v ) of G which distance between u and v is k such that d e g u = r and d e g v = h and | D k ( G ) | is the number of pairs ( u , v ) of G that are distance k “ D ( G , k ) ”.

From clearly that k = 1 d i a m ( G ) | D k ( G ) | = p ( G ) ( p ( G ) 1 ) / 2 .

2. The Vertex―Identification Chain (VIC)―Graphs

Let { G 1 , G 2 , , G n } be a set of pairwise disjoint graphs with vertices u i , v i V ( G i ) , i = 1 , 2 , , n , n 2 , then the vertex-identification chain graph C v ( G 1 , G 2 , , G n ) C v ( G 1 , G 2 , , G n : v 1 u 2 ; v 2 u 3 ; ; v n 1 u n ) of { G i } i = 1 n with respect to the vertices { v i , u i + 1 } i = 1 n 1 is the graph obtained from the graphs G 1 , G 2 , , G n by identifying the vertex v i with the vertex u i + 1 for all i = 1 , 2 , , n 1 . (See Figure 1):

Figure 1. The graph C v ( G 1 , G 2 , , G n ) .

Some Properties of Graph C v ( G 1 , G 2 , , G n ) :

1) p ( C v ( G 1 , G 2 , , G n ) ) = i = 1 n p ( G i ) ( n 1 ) .

2) q ( C v ( G 1 , G 2 , , G n ) ) = i = 1 n q ( G i ) .

3) n d i a m ( C v ( G 1 , G 2 , , G n ) ) i = 1 n d i a m ( G i ) .

The equality of lower bound is satisfied at K 2 but the upper bound is satisfied at path graph.

If G i H p , for all 1 i n , where H p is a connected graph of order p, we denoted C v ( H p , H p , , H p ) by C v ( H p ) n .

2.1. Schultz and Modified Schultz of C v ( C 4 ) p

From Figure 2, we note that p ( C v ( C 4 ) p ) = 3 p + 1 , q ( C v ( C 4 ) p ) = 4 p and d i a m ( C v ( C 4 ) p ) = 2 p , for all 1 i , j p , i j , 2 h , k p , h k , then we have:

Figure 2. The graph C v ( C 4 ) p .

Table 1. The vertices degrees of the graph C v ( C 4 ) p .

Theorem 2.1.1: For p 2 , then we have:

1) S c ( C v ( C 4 ) p ; x ) = 8 ( 3 p 1 ) x + 4 ( 7 p 5 ) x 2 + 4 k = 3 2 p ( 6 p 3 k + 1 ) x k .

2) S c * ( C v ( C 4 ) p ; x ) = 16 ( 2 p 1 ) x + 4 ( 9 p 8 ) x 2 + 16 k = 3 2 p 1 ( 2 p k ) x k + 4 x 2 p .

Proof: For all p 4 and every two vertices u , v V ( C v ( C 4 ) p ) , there is

d ( u , v ) = k , 1 k 2 p , then obviously, i = 1 2 p | D i | = 3 p ( 3 p + 1 ) 2 . We will have

six partitions for proof:

P1. If d ( u , v ) = 1 , then | D 1 | = 4 p = q ( C v ( C 4 ) p ) and we have two subsets of it:

P1.1. | D 1 ( 2 , 2 ) | = | { ( u 1 , w 1 ) , ( u p , w p + 1 ) , ( v 1 , w 1 ) , ( v 1 , w p ) } | = 4 .

P1.2. | D 1 ( 2 , 4 ) | = | { ( u i 1 , w i ) , ( v i 1 , w i ) , ( u i , w i ) , ( v i , w i ) : 2 i p } | = 4 ( p 1 ) .

P2. If d ( u , v ) = 2 , then | D 2 | = 6 p 4 and we have three subsets of it:

P2.1. | D 2 ( 2 , 2 ) | = | { ( u i , u i + 1 ) , ( u i , v i + 1 ) , ( v i , v i + 1 ) , ( v i , u i + 1 ) : 1 i p 1 } { ( u i , v i ) : 1 i p } | = 5 p 4.

P2.2. | D 2 ( 2 , 4 ) | = | { ( w 1 , w 2 ) , ( w p + 1 , w p ) } | = 2 .

P2.3. | D 2 ( 4 , 4 ) | = | { ( w i , w i + 1 ) : 2 i p 1 } | = p 2 .

P3. If d ( u , v ) = k , then | D k | = 9 p + 1 2 k + 3 , and we have:

1) If k is an odd, 3 k 2 p 3 , then | D k | = 4 p 2 k + 2 , and we have two subsets of it:

P3.1. | D k ( 2 , 2 ) | = | { ( w 1 , u k k 1 2 ) , ( w 1 , v k k 1 2 ) , ( w 1 , u k k 1 2 ) , ( w 1 , v k k 1 2 ) } | = 4 .

P3.2. | D k ( 2 , 4 ) | = | { ( u i + k 1 2 , w i ) , ( v i + k 1 2 , w i ) , ( u i 1 , w i + k 1 2 ) , ( v i 1 , w i + k 1 2 ) : 2 i p k 1 2 } | = 4 ( p k 1 2 1 ) .

2) If k is an even, 4 k 2 p 4 , then | D k | = 5 p + 5 2 k + 1 , and we have three

subsets of it:

P3.3. | D k ( 2 , 2 ) | = | { ( u i , u i + k 2 ) , ( u i , v i + k 2 ) , ( v i , v i + k 2 ) , ( v i , u i + k 2 ) : 1 i p k 2 } | = 4 ( p k 2 ) .

P3.4. | D k ( 2 , 4 ) | = | { ( w 1 , w 1 + k 2 ) , ( w p + 1 , w p k 2 + 1 ) } | = 2 .

P3.5. | D k ( 4 , 4 ) | = | { ( w i , w i + k 2 ) : 2 i p k 2 } | = p k 2 1 .

P4. If d ( u , v ) = 2 p 2 , then | D 2 p 2 | = 6 , and we have two subsets of it:

P4.1. | D 2 p 2 ( 2 , 2 ) | = | { ( u 1 , u p ) , ( v 1 , v p ) , ( u 1 , v p ) , ( v 1 , u p ) } | = 4 .

P4.2. | D 2 p 2 ( 2 , 4 ) | = | { ( w 1 , w p ) , ( w p + 1 , w 2 ) } | = 2 .

P5. If d ( u , v ) = 2 p 1 , then | D 2 p 1 | = 4 , and we have one subset of it:

| D 2 p 1 ( 2 , 2 ) | = | { ( w 1 , u p ) , ( w 1 , v p ) , ( w p + 1 , u 1 ) , ( w p + 1 , v 1 ) } | = 4 .

P6. If d ( u , v ) = 2 p , then | D 2 p | = 1 , and we have one subset of it:

| D 2 p ( 2 , 2 ) | = | { ( w 1 , w p + 1 ) } | = 1 .

Hence, from P1 to P6 and Table 1, we get:

S c ( C v ( C 4 ) p ; x ) = { 4 ( 4 ) + 6 ( 4 ( p 1 ) ) } x + { 4 ( 5 p 4 ) + 6 ( 2 ) + 8 ( p 2 ) } x 2 + { k = 3 2 p 3 { 4 ( 4 ) + 6 ( 4 ( p k 1 2 1 ) ) } x k , k is an odd k = 4 2 p 4 { 4 ( 4 ( p k 2 ) ) + 6 ( 2 ) + 8 ( p k 2 1 ) } x k , k is an even + { 4 ( 4 ) + 6 ( 2 ) } x 2 p 2 + { 4 ( 4 ) } x 2 p 1 + { 4 ( 1 ) } x 2 p = 8 ( 3 p 1 ) x + 4 ( 7 p 5 ) x 2 + 4 k = 3 2 p ( 6 p 3 k + 1 ) x k .

And,

S c * ( C v ( C 4 ) p ; x ) = { 4 ( 4 ) + 8 ( 4 ( p 1 ) ) } x + { 4 ( 5 p 4 ) + 8 ( 2 ) + 16 ( p 2 ) } x 2 + { k = 3 2 p 3 { 4 ( 4 ) + 8 ( 4 ( p k 1 2 1 ) ) } x k , k is an odd , k = 4 2 p 4 { 4 ( 4 ( p k 2 ) ) + 8 ( 2 ) + 16 ( p k 2 1 ) } x k , k is an even + { 4 ( 4 ) + 8 ( 2 ) } x 2 p 2 + { 4 ( 4 ) } x 2 p 1 + { 4 ( 1 ) } x 2 p = 16 ( 2 p 1 ) x + 4 ( 9 p 8 ) x 2 + 16 k = 3 2 p 1 ( 2 p k ) x k + 4 x 2 p .

By simple, we can calculate:

1) S c ( C v ( C 4 ) 2 ; x ) = 40 x + 36 x 2 + 16 x 3 + 4 x 4 .

S c * ( C v ( C 4 ) 2 ; x ) = 48 x + 40 x 2 + 16 x 3 + 4 x 4 .

2) S c ( C v ( C 4 ) 3 ; x ) = 64 x + 64 x 2 + 40 x 3 + 28 x 4 + 16 x 5 + 4 x 6 .

S c * ( C v ( C 4 ) 3 ; x ) = 80 x + 76 x 2 + 48 x 3 + 32 x 4 + 16 x 5 + 4 x 6 . ∎

Corollary 2.1.2: For p 2 , then we have:

1) S c ( C v ( C 4 ) p ) = 8 p ( 2 p 2 + p + 1 ) .

2) S c * ( C v ( C 4 ) p ) = 32 3 p ( 2 p 2 + 1 ) . ∎

Corollary 2.1.3: For p 2 , then we have:

1) S c ¯ ( C v ( C 4 ) p ) = 16 27 ( 6 p + 1 + 8 / ( 3 p + 1 ) ) .

2) S c * ¯ ( C v ( C 4 ) p ) = 128 81 ( 3 p 1 + 11 / 2 ( 3 p + 1 ) ) . ∎

2.2. Schultz and Modified Schultz of C v ( K 4 ) p

From Figure 3, we note that p ( C v ( K 4 ) p ) = 3 p + 1 , q ( C v ( K 4 ) p ) = 6 p and d a i m ( C v ( K 4 ) p ) = p , for all 1 i , j p , i j , 2 h , k p , h k , then we have:

Figure 3. The graph C v ( K 4 ) p .

Table 2. The vertices degrees of the graph C v ( K 4 ) p .

Theorem 2.2.1: for p 3 , then we have:

1) S c ( C v ( K 4 ) p ; x ) = 18 ( 3 p 1 ) x + 18 k = 2 p ( 4 p 4 k + 3 ) x k .

2) S c * ( C v ( K 4 ) p ; x ) = 9 ( 13 p 8 ) x + 72 k = 2 p 1 ( 2 p 2 k + 1 ) x k + 81 x p .

Proof: For all p 4 , and every vertex u , v V ( C v ( K 4 ) p ) there is

d ( u , v ) = k , 1 k p , then obviously, i = 1 2 p | D i | = 3 p ( 3 p + 1 ) 2 . We will have

four partitions for proof:

P1. If d ( u , v ) = 1 , then | D 1 | = 6 p = q ( C v ( K 4 ) p ) and we have three subsets of it:

P1.1. | D 1 ( 3 , 3 ) | = | { ( u i , v i ) : 1 i p } { ( u 1 , w 1 ) , ( v 1 , w 1 ) , ( u p , w p + 1 ) , ( v p , w p + 1 ) } | = p + 4.

P1.2. | D 1 ( 3 , 6 ) | = | { ( u i , w i ) , ( u i , w i + 1 ) , ( v i , w i ) , ( v i , w i + 1 ) : 2 i p 1 } { ( u p , w p ) , ( u 1 , w 2 ) , ( v p , w p ) , ( v 1 , w 2 ) , ( w 1 , w 2 ) , ( w p , w p + 1 ) } | = 4 p 2.

P1.3. | D 1 ( 6 , 6 ) | = | { ( w i , w i + 1 ) : 2 i p 1 } | = p 2 .

P2. If d ( u , v ) = k , 2 k p 2 , then | D k | = 9 ( p k + 1 ) and we have three subsets of it:

P2.1

| D k ( 3 , 3 ) | = | { ( u i , u i + k 1 ) , ( v i , v i + k 1 ) , ( u i , v i + k 1 ) , ( v i , u i + k 1 ) : 1 i p k + 1 } { ( u k , w 1 ) , ( u p k + 1 , w p + 1 ) , ( v k , w 1 ) , ( v p k + 1 , w p + 1 ) } | = 4 ( p k + 2 ) .

P2.2.

| D k ( 3 , 6 ) | = | { ( u i , w i + k ) , ( u i + k 1 , w i ) , ( v i , w i + k ) , ( v i + k 1 , w i ) : 2 i p k } { ( u 1 , w 1 + k ) , ( u p , w p k + 1 ) , ( v 1 , w 1 + k ) , ( v p , w p k + 1 ) , ( w 1 , w 1 + k ) , ( w p + 1 , w p k + 1 ) } | = 2 ( 2 p 2 k + 1 ) .

P2.3. | D k ( 6 , 6 ) | = | { ( w i , w i + k ) : 2 i p k } | = p k 1 .

P3. If d ( u , v ) = p 1 , then | D p 1 | = 18 and we have two subsets of it:

P3.1. | D p 1 ( 3 , 3 ) | = { { ( u i , u i + p 2 ) , ( u i , v i + p 2 ) , ( v i , v i + p 2 ) , ( v i , u i + p 2 ) : i = 1 , 2 } { ( u 2 , w p 1 ) , ( u p 1 , w 1 ) , ( v 2 , w p + 1 ) , ( v p 1 , w 1 ) } | = 12.

P3.2. | D p 1 ( 3 , 6 ) | = | { ( u 1 , w p ) , ( u p , w 2 ) , ( v p , w 2 ) , ( v 1 , w p ) , ( w 1 , w p ) , ( w 1 , w p ) } | = 6 .

P4. If d ( u , v ) = p , then | D p | = 9 , and we have one subset of it:

| D p ( 3 , 3 ) | = | { ( u 1 , u p ) , ( u 1 , w p + 1 ) , ( u 1 , v p ) , ( v 1 , w p + 1 ) , ( v 1 , v p ) , ( u p , w 1 ) , ( u p , v 1 ) , ( w 1 , w p + 1 ) , ( w 1 , v p ) } | = 9

Hence, from P1 to P4 and Table 2, we get:

S c ( C v ( K 4 ) p ; x ) = { 6 ( p + 4 ) + 9 ( 4 p 2 ) + 12 ( p 2 ) } x + k = 2 p 2 { 6 ( 4 p 4 k + 8 ) + 9 ( 4 p 4 k + 2 ) + 12 ( p k 1 ) } x k + { 6 ( 12 ) + 9 ( 6 ) } x p 1 + { 6 ( 9 ) } x p = 18 ( 3 p 1 ) x + 18 k = 2 p ( 4 p 4 k + 3 ) x k .

And,

S c * ( C v ( K 4 ) p ; x ) = { 9 ( p + 4 ) + 18 ( 4 p 2 ) + 36 ( p 2 ) } x + k = 2 p 2 { 9 ( 4 p 4 k + 8 ) + 18 ( 4 p 4 k + 2 ) + 36 ( p k 1 ) } x k + { 9 ( 12 ) + 18 ( 6 ) } x p 1 + { 9 ( 9 ) } x p = 9 ( 13 p 8 ) x + 72 k = 2 p 1 ( 2 p 2 k + 1 ) x k + 81 x p .

By simply we can calculate:

S c ( C v ( K 4 ) 3 ; x ) = 144 x + 126 x 2 + 54 x 2 .

S c ( C v ( K 4 ) 3 ; x ) = 279 x + 216 x 2 + 81 x 2 .

This completes the proof. ∎

Remark:

1) S c ( C v ( K 4 ) 2 ; x ) = 90 x + 54 x 2 .

2) S c * ( C v ( K 4 ) 2 ; x ) = 162 x + 81 x 2 .

Corollary 2.2.2: For p 2 , then we have:

1) S c ( C v ( K 4 ) p ) = 3 p ( 4 p 2 + 9 p 1 ) .

2) S c * ( C v ( K 4 ) p ) = 6 p ( 4 p 2 + 6 p 1 ) . ∎

Corollary 2.2.3: For p 2 , then we have:

1) S c ¯ ( C v ( K 4 ) p ) = 2 9 ( 12 p + 23 32 / ( 3 p + 1 ) ) .

2) S c * ¯ ( C v ( K 4 ) p ) = 8 9 ( 6 p + 7 23 / 2 ( 3 p + 1 ) ) . ∎

3. Some Properties of the Coefficients of Schultz and Modified Schultz Polynomials

A finite sequence ( a 1 , a 2 , , a h ) of h positive integers is coefficients of polynomial P ( x ) = i = 1 h a i x i . Then:

1) The polynomial P ( x ) is called j-unimodal if, for some index j, a 1 a 2 a j a j + 1 a h and it is strictly j-unimodal if the inequality holds without equalities.

2) The polynomial P ( x ) is called monotonically increasing (or monotonically decreasing) if, a i a i + 1 or a i a i + 1 , respectively, for all 1 i h and it is strictly-increasing or strictly-decreasing respectively if the inequalities hold without equalities.

3) The polynomial P ( x ) is called palindromic if a i = a h i + 1 , for all 1 i h and is called semi-palindromic if a j = a h j + 1 , 1 + i j h i and for all 1 i h 2 .

4) The polynomial P ( x ) is called troubled if a i a i + 1 , for all 1 i h .

5) The polynomial P ( x ) is called equality if a i = a i + 1 , for all 1 i h and is called semi-equality if a i = a i + 1 for some values i.

The following Table 3 shows the properties of polynomials coefficients of Schultz and modified Schultz of C v ( C 4 ) p and C v ( K 4 ) p .
