Abstract

It has been demonstrated that the spectrum of the molecular
graph contains information about the extent of branching of the
molecular skeleton. In particular, the largest eigenvalue, xi, in the
spectrum has been shown to be closely related to the total number
of walks in the graph (eqs. (11) and (15)). Thus, a justification of
the recent empirical finding that x1 is a measure of branching9,in
has been obtained.
