ABSTRACT: In this paper, we investigate several topological indices in honeycomb graphs: Randić connectivity index, sum-connectivity index, atom-bond connectivity index, geometric-arithmetic index, First and Second Zagreb indices and Zagreb polynomials. Formulas for computing the above topological descriptors in honeycomb graphs are given.

INTRODUCTION: In this paper, we only consider an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges. Let G be a graph, we denote V (G) and E(G) the vertex set and edge set of G, respectively. An edge uv is an (s; t)-edge if d(u) = s and d(v) = t. In chemical graph theory, the vertices of the graph correspond to the atoms of molecules and the edges correspond to chemical bonds. The Wiener index W (G) is defined as the sum of topological distances d(u; v) between any two atoms in the molecular graph, which is introduced by the chemist Harold Wiener ¹.

According to the above Zagreb indices, the First Zagreb polynomial Zg₁(G; x) and the Second Zagreb polynomial Zg₂(G; x) have been defined. They are defined as

Honeycomb Graph: The n-honeycomb graph Hn was studied in ¹⁰. It is the graph shown in Fig. 1, where mean of vertex is vertex of the hexagons and mean of edges are the sides of the hexagons.
