Abstract

Let w G ( u ) be the sum of distances from u to all the other vertices of G . The Wiener complexity, C W ( G ) , is the number of different values of w G ( u ) in G , and the eccentric complexity, C ec ( G ) , is the number of different eccentricities in G . In this paper, we prove that for every integer c there are infinitely many graphs G such that C W ( G ) − C ec ( G ) = c . Moreover, we prove this statement using graphs with the smallest possible cyclomatic number. That is, if c ≥ 0 we prove this statement using trees, and if c < 0 we prove it using unicyclic graphs. Further, we prove that C ec ( G ) ≤ 2 C W ( G ) − 1 if G is a unicyclic graph. In our proofs we use that the function w G ( u ) is convex on paths consisting of bridges. This property also promptly implies the already known bound for trees C ec ( G ) ≤ C W ( G ) . Finally, we answer in positive an open question by finding infinitely many graphs G with diameter 3 such that C ec ( G ) < C W ( G ) .
