Locating and multiplicative locating indices of graphs with QSPR analysis (Q2038551)

Summary: In this paper, by introducing a new version of locating indices called multiplicative locating indices, we compute exact values of these indices on well-known families of graphs and graphs obtained by some operations. Also, we determine the importance of locating and multiplicative locating indices of hexane and its isomers. Furthermore, we show that locating indices actually have a reasonable correlation using linear regression with physico-chemical characteristics such as enthalpy, melting point, and boiling point. This approximation can be extended into several chemical compounds.
