Abstract

Two decades ago, resistance distance was introduced to characterize "chemical distance" in (molecular) graphs. In this paper, we consider three resistance distance-based graph invariants, namely, the Kirchhoff index, the additive degree-Kirchhoff index, and the multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff in- dex. Some Nordhaus-Gaddum-type results for these three molecular struc- ture descriptors are obtained. In addition, a relation between these Kirch- hoffian indices is established.
