Wiener Index#

Functions related to the Wiener Index of a graph.

The Wiener Index is a topological measure of a graph related to the distance between nodes and their degree. The Schultz Index and Gutman Index are similar measures. They are used categorize molecules via the network of atoms connected by chemical bonds. The indices are correlated with functional aspects of the molecules.
