The Hosoya Index of an Infinite Class of Dendrimer Nanostars
A dendrimer nanostar is a tree-like highly branched polymer molecule. Dendrimer nanostars are synthesized from monomers with new branches added in discrete steps to form a tree-like architecture. They have some proven applications, and numerous potential applications. Let G is a connected graph with vertex set V and edge set E, the Hosoya index of a graph is defined as the total number of its matchings. We obtain exact formulas for calculating the Hosoya index of dendrimer nanostars.
