The terminal Hosoya polynomial of some families of composite graphs (Q2248729)

Summary: Let \(G\) be a connected graph and let \(\Omega(G)\) be the set of pendent vertices of \(G\). The terminal Hosoya polynomial of \(G\) is defined as \(\mathrm{TH}(G,t):= \sum_{x,y\in \Omega(G):x\neq y}t^{d_G(x,y)}\), where \(d_G(x,y)\) denotes the distance between the pendent vertices \(x\) and \(y\). In this note paper we obtain closed formulae for the terminal Hosoya polynomial of rooted product graphs and corona product graphs.
