Abstract:

In order to predict the physical, chemical properties and biological activities of molecules, scientists have proposed many topological indices. As a variant of the well known Randićindex, the harmonic index is proven to be a valuable predictive index in the study of the physical and chemical properties of compounds. The harmonic index of trees with fixed domination number was investigated. By analyzing the structure of trees with fixed domination number and using the method of mathematical induction, the maximum and minimum harmonic indices of trees with fixed domination number are presented. Furthermore, the corresponding extremal trees are determined.

Key words: harmonic index, tree, domination number
