ABSTRACT
The Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph is defined as the total number of the independent sets of the graph. This paper mainly discussed the Merrifield- Simmons index of two classes of lexicographic product graphs of Corona graphs P(m)n [H] and C(m)n[H], with the specific expressions are given.

On the extremal Merrifield-Simmons index and Hosoya index of quasi-tree graphs
It is well known that the two graph invariants, ''the Merrifield-Simmons index'' and ''the Hosoya index'' are important in structural chemistry. A graph G is called a quasi-tree graph, if there exists u"0 in V(G) such that G-u"0 is a tree. In this paper,...
Tricyclic graphs with maximum Merrifield-Simmons index
It is well known that the graph invariant, 'the Merrifield-Simmons index' is important one in structural chemistry. The connected acyclic graphs with maximal and minimal Merrifield-Simmons indices are determined by Prodinger and Tichy [H. Prodinger, ...
On the Merrifield–Simmons index of tricyclic graphs
AbstractThe total number of independent subsets, including the empty set, of a graph, is also termed as the Merrifield–Simmons index ( M S I ) in mathematical chemistry. Zhu and Yu (2012) presented a lower bound on Merrifield–Simmons index of ...
