Abstract
For a molecular graph G the general Randić index R alpha G is defined as the sum of the weights d ud valpha of all edges uv of G where d u or d v denotes the degree of a vertex u or v in G and alpha is an arbitrary real number In this paper we give an efficient formula for computing the general Randić index of polyomino chains and characterize the extremal polyomino chains with respect to this index which generalizes one of the main results in Yarahmadi et al Appl Math Lett 25166–171 2012The authors would like to thank the anonymous referees for their valuable comments and suggestions which helped to improve the presentation of the paper This work is supported by the Natural Science Funds of China No 11071016 11171129 and 11001197 and by Specialized Research Fund for the Doctoral Program of Higher Education No 20131101110048
