Abstract: In chemical graph theory, caterpillar trees have been an appealing model to represent the molecular structures of benzenoid hydrocarbon. Meanwhile, topological index has been thought of as a powerful tool for modeling quantitative structure-property relationship and quantitative structure-activity between molecules in chemical compounds. In this article, we consider a class of caterpillar trees that are incorporated with randomness, called random caterpillars, and investigate several popular topological indices of this random class, including Zagreb index, Randi'{c} index and Wiener index, etc. Especially, a central limit theorem is developed for the asymptotic distribution of the Zagreb index of random caterpillars.
