Mathematicalmodelingwiththehelpofnumericalcodingofgraphshasbeenusedinthedifferentfieldsofscience,especiallyin chemistry for the studies of the molecular structures. It also plays a vital role in the study of the quantitative structure activities relationship (QSAR) and quantitative structure properties relationship (QSPR) models. Todeshine et al. (2010) and Eliasi et al. (2012) defined two different versions of the 1st multiplicative Zagreb index as (Γ)� pV(Γ) [d Γ (p) 2 ] and 1 (Γ)� pqE(Γ) [d Γ (p)+ d Γ (q)],respectively.InthesamepaperofTodeshine,theyalsodefinedthe2ndmultiplicativeZagreb indexas 2 (Γ)� pqE(Γ) [d Γ (pd Γ (q)].

In this paper, we extend this study and compute the upper bonds of the first multiplicative Zagreb and second multiplicative Zagreb indices of the generalized F-sum graphs. At the end, some particular results as applications of the obtained results for alkane are also included. 1. Introduction enumericaldemonstrationofamoleculargraphcanbe assumed as a single number, commonly known as to- pological index (TI). ere are many interesting and significant results about TIs to study the different properties of chemical compounds such as chromato- graphic retention times, heat of formation and evapo- ration,flashpoint,viscosity,freezing,boilingandmelting point, octanol-water partition coefficient, surface ten- sion, stability, temperature, density, weight, polariz- ability, connectivity, and solubility. Many medicines, crystallineandnanomaterials,thatareusedinnumerous pharmaceutical industries are examined with the assis- tanceofdifferentTIs,see[1–7].TIsalsostudyQSPRand QSAR models that join molecular graphs to their mo- lecular characteristics by means of statistical tools. For additional information, see [8–17]. In 1947, to investigate the paraffin’s boiling point, Wiener utilized the distance-based TI [18]. Gutman and Trinajsti´ c [19] determined a pair of degree-based first and second Zagreb indices. After this, different impressive TIs are introduced in molecular graph theory [20,21], but the degree-based TIs are famous than others, see [22]. Ingraphtheory,thevariousoperationsondifferentgraphs showanimportantroleinthecreationofadvancedfamiliesof graphs, see [23,24]. Yan et al. [13] gave the idea of four op- erations S 1 ,R 1 ,Q 1 , and T 1 of graphs and computed the Wiener index of the resultant graphs obtained by using these operations.EliasiandTaeri[25]introducedthe F 1 -sumgraphs (Γ 1+F 1 Γ 2 ) byusingthecartesianproductofgraphs F 1 (Γ 1 ) and Γ 2 , where Γ 1 and Γ 2 are the two simple graphs and F 1 (Γ 1 ) is obtained by using F 1 S 1 ,R 1 ,Q 1 , & T 1 . ey also de- termined the Wiener index of these F 1 -sum graphs.
