Comments

The second Zagreb index of the single-defect 5-gonal nanocone CNC(5,n) (see definition in the Doslic et al. reference, p. 27).

The second Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the degree products d(i)d(j) over all edges ij of the graph.

The M-polynomial of CNC(5,n) is M(CNC(5,n); x,y) = 5*x^2*y^2 + 10*n*x^2*y^3 + 5*n*(3*n+1)*x^3*y^3/2.

More generally, the M-polynomial of CNC(k,n) is M(CNC(k,n); x,y) = k*x^2*y^2 + 2*k*n*x^2*y^3 + k*n*(3*n + 1)*x^3*y^3/2.

Formula

From Colin Barker, May 14 2018: (Start)

G.f.: 5*(4 + 22*x + x^2) / (1 - x)^3.

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) for n>2.
