Abstract

For two vertices υ and ν of a graph G the usual distance d(υ, ν) is the length of the shortest path between υ and ν In this paper we introduce Maximum distance M - distance by considering the length of the shortest path, the sum of the degrees of all vertices in the path in addition the total number of vertices in the path. We also define the Maximum radius, Maximum diameter, Maximum eccentricity and Maximum center of G.

Keywords

M-distance, Maximum radius, Maximum diameter.
