In 2021, Akhmejanova et al. posed the problem of finding graphs $G$ with large $R_m(G)= |\\{v\\in V(G)\\,|\\,W(G)-W(G-v)=m \\in \\mathbb{Z} \\}|/ |V(G)|$. It is shown that there is a graph $G$ with $R_m(G) > 1/2$ for any integer $m \\ge 0$. In particular, there is a regular graph of even degree with this property for any odd $m \\ge 1$. The proposed approach allows to construct new families of graphs $G$ with $R_0(G) \\rightarrow 1/2$ when the order of $G$ increases.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-11-26T00:04:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C09", "05C12", "05C92" ], "keywords": [ "wiener index", "regular graph", "akhmejanova", "finding graphs", "connected graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
