Topological Indices and Structural Properties of Cubic Power Graph of Dihedral Group

Abstract

The cubic power graph of finite group G with identity element e, is an undirected finite, simple graph in which a pair of distinct vertices x, y have an edge iff xy = z³ or yx = z³ for any z ∈ D_n with z³ ≠ e. In this paper, we have studied the structural representation of the cubic power graph of the dihedral group and various structural properties such as clique, girth, vertex degree, chromatic number, independent number, matching number, perfect matching, dominating number, etc. We have also calculated various topological indices such as the Harary index, the first and second Zagreb indices, the Wiener and hyper-Wiener indices, the Schultz index, the harmonic index, the general Randic index, the eccentric connectivity index, the Gutman index, the atomic-bond connectivity index, and the geometricarithmetic index of the cubic power graph of dihedral group D_n when gcd(n, 3) = 1.
