Abstract

The third-order Randić index of a graph G is defined as R₃ (G) = ∑_{u1 u2 u3 u4} frac(1, sqrt(d (u₁) d (u₂) d (u₃) d (u₄))), where the summation is taken over all possible paths of length three of G. A recursive formula for computing the third-order Randić index of a hexagonal chain is given in this paper, and the hexagonal chains with the extremal third-order Randić index are characterized.
