Title
Randić ordering of chemical trees
Abstract
We study the behavior of the Randić index χ subject to the operation on a tree T which creates a new tree T' ≠ T by deleting an edge ax of T and adding a new edge incident to either a or x. Let ≼mso be the smallest poset containing all pairs (T, T') such that χ(T) T') and T, T' ∈ Cn (where Cn is the collection of trees with n vertices and of maximum degree 4). We will determine the maximal and minimal elements of (Cn, ≼mso). We present an algorithm to construct χ-monotone chains of trees T0, T1, T2,...,Tm such that Ti ≺msoTi+1. As a corollary of our results, we present a new method to calculate the first values of χ on Cn.
