Zusammenfassung:The Wiener index ) of a connected graph , introduced by Wiener in 1947, is defined as ) =∑ ), where ) is the distance (the length a shortest path) between the vertices and in . For ⊆ ( ), the ) of the vertices of , introduced by Chartrand . in 1989, is the minimum size of a connected subgraph of whose vertex set contains . The ) of is defined as . We investigate the following problem: Fixed a positive integer , for what kind of positive integer does there exist a connected graph (or a tree ) of order ≥ such that ) = (or ) = )? In this paper, we give some solutions to this problem.
