Acyclic Kragujevac network is denoted by K; K ∈ Kg
q�r(2s+1)+1,r
. In this article, we have taken a deep look at some of the
topological properties of the semitotal-point graph as well as its line structure by computing some algebraic polynomials. Few
degree-dependent chemical invariants that can primarily be obtained via these algebraic expressions are also put forward.
1.Introduction
A topological index, also known as a connectivity index, is
a sort of molecular descriptor that is computed based on
the chemical graph of a chemical compound in the fields
of chemical graph theory, molecular topology, and
mathematical chemistry. Topological indices are nu-
merical factors that define the topology of a graph and are
typically graph invariants. Topological indices are used in
the progress of quantitative structure-activity relation-
ships (QSARs), which correspond to biological activity or
other characteristics of molecules with their chemical
composition.
e graphs under consideration in the following work
are undirected, lack loops, as well as have bounded sets of
nodes and edges. Let V(L) and E(L) indicate the node and
line sets for graph L, respectively. Moreover, the cardinality
of lines attached to a point denoted as d
L
(u) for u is its
degree. Let R

is shown in Figure 1. Another Kragujevac tree K from class

is shown in Figure 2.

less than 3 and rooted trees of the form R

denotes the class of proper Kragujevac trees K of order q
and a central vertex with degree r. A tree derived by placing a
new degree 2 node to a line linked to the degree one node of
some proper acyclic Kragujevac network is termed as im-
