Topological indices for molecular fragments and new graph invariants

Whereas the internal fragment topological index (IFTI) is calculated in the normal manner as for any molecule, the external fragment topological index (EFTI) is calculated so as to reflect the interaction between the excised fragment F and the remainder of the molecule (G-F). For selected topological indices (TIs), a survey of EFTI values, formulas and examples is presented. Some requirements as to the fragment indices are formulated and examined. In the discussion of the results, it is shown that for some TIs regularities exist in the dependence of EFTI values upon the branching of fragment F, or upon the marginal versus central position of the fragment F in the graph G. New vortex invariants can be computed as EFTI values for one-atom fragments over all graph vertices; by iteration, it is in principle possible to devise an infinite number of now vertex invariants.
