Abstract
The degree of a vertex of a molecular graph is the number of first neighbors of this vertex.
A large number of molecular-graph-based structure descriptors (topological indices) have been conceived,
depending on vertex degrees. We summarize their main properties, and provide a critical comparative
study thereof. (doi: 10.5562/cca2294)
