[Retracted] Multiplicative Topological Properties on Degree Based for Fourth Type of Hex-Derived Networks
Abstract
Chemical graph theory is a subfield of graph theory that uses a molecular graph to describe a chemical compound. When there is at least one connection between the vertices of a graph, it is said to be connected. Topology of graph has been expressed by numerical quantity which is known as topological index. Cheminformatics is a product field that combines chemistry, mathematics, and computer science. The graph plays a key role in modelling and coming up with any chemical arrangement. In this paper, we computed the multiplicative degree-based indices like Randić, Zagreb, Harmonic, augmented Zagreb, atom-bond connectivity, and geometric-arithmetic indices for newly developed fourth type of hex-derived networks and also present the graphical representations of results.
1. Introduction
Graph theory has provided chemists with a number of useful methods, such as topological indices. A molecular graph is often used to represent molecules and molecular compounds. A molecular graph is a graph theory definition of a compound’s molecular formula, the vertices that correspond to the compound’s atoms, and hence the edges that correspond to chemical bonds. Cheminformatics may be a trendy subject that would be a mix of chemistry, arithmetic, and data science. Topological indices, given by graph theory, square measure a vital tool. The topology index could be a quantity associated with a graph that unambiguously characterizes that graph. The chemical graph theory could be a combination of chemistry and graph theory. It is the mathematical chemistry branch that applies the graph hypothesis for modelling chemical structure. A graph will acknowledge a network, a meeting of numbers, a numeric variety, and a polynomial that speaks to the structure of that chart. The vertices and the edges of any chart moreover speak to the topological records. Cheminformatics is a modern scholarly field that brings together the fields of chemistry, mathematics, and information science. It examines the relationships between QSAR and QSPR, which are used to estimate biological activities and chemical compound properties. Wiener is the pioneer of TIs; he developed this theory in 1947, when he was working on the boiling points of Paraffins. Wiener called it a path number but afterwards; it is introduced by Wiener [1]. It is the first distance-based topological index. Topological indices are valuable in QSAR and QSPR studies, as they can alter the chemical structure into numerical values. More than 100 topological descriptors evaluated to get the connection between the atoms. There are a few strategies for evaluating atomic structures, the topological index of which is the most common since it can be derived specifically from atomic structures and measured effectively for a huge number of atoms.
1.1. Method for Drawing HDN4 Networks
Step 1. Let take a benzene network with dimension r.
Step 2. Place benzene graph in each K3 subgraph of hexagonal network.
Step 3. Connect alternating vertices of each benzene graph to every corner of triangle.
Step 4. At the end, the derived result of the graph is called the fourth type of hex-derived network HDN4 (see Figure 1). In this way, we can also construct THDN4 (see Figure 2) and RHDN4 (see Figure 3).



On the newly developed graphs, the degree-based TIs have been calculated in this paper. First of all, Randić index computes on the fourth type of hex-derived network.
2. Main Results
In this research article, we introduced the different kinds of fourth type of hex-derived networks. The degree-based topological indices have been calculated in this research on the above networks. Currently, there is exhaustive study on the topological indices and with different kinds, see [7–9].For the basic definitions about graph theory and notations, see [10, 11].

3. Conclusion
In this paper, certain degree-based topological indices, namely, the Randić, Zagreb, Harmonic, augmented Zagreb, atom-bond connectivity, and geometric-arithmetic indices for the HDN4, THDN4, and RHDN4 networks, were studied for the first time, and analytical closed formulas for these networks were determined that will help the people working in network science to understand the underlying topologies of these networks. In future, we are interested in designing some new architectures/networks and then studying their topological indices, which will be quite helpful in understanding their underlying topologies.
