Abstract

The concept of Gutman index SGut(G) of a connected graph G was introduced in 1994. The Steiner distance in a graph, introduced by Chartrand et al. in 1989, is a natural generalization of the concept of classical graph distance. In this paper, we generalize the concept of Gutman index by Steiner distance. The Steiner Gutman k-index SGutk(G) of G is defined by SGutk(G) = (Equestion presented), where dG(S) is the Steiner distance of S and degG(v) is the degree of v in G. Expressions for SGutk for some special graphs are obtained. We also give sharp upper and lower bounds of SGutk of a connected graph, and get the expression of SGutk(G) for k = n, n - 1. Finally, we compare between k-center Steiner degree distance SDDk and SGutk of graphs.
