INNATE DEGREE OF FREEDOM OF A GRAPH Academic Article

abstract

• For a Kekul structure we consider the smallest number of placements of double bonds such that the full Kekul structure on the given parent graph is fully determined. These numbers for each Kekul structure of the parent graph sum to a novel structural invariant F, called the degree of freedom of the graph. Some qualitative characteristics are identified, and it is noted that apparently it behaves differently from a couple of other invariants related to Kekul structures.
