%N A181617 Molecular topological indices of the complete graph K_n.
%C A181617 a(n) = the area of a trapezoid with vertices at (n-1,n), (n,n-1), ((n-1)^2,n^2), and (n^2,(n-1)^2). - _J. M. Bergot_, Mar 23 2014
%C A181617 For n > 3, also the detour index of the (n-1)-helm graph. - _Eric W. Weisstein_, Dec 16 2017
%C A181617 a(n-3) is the maximum sigma irregularity over all maximal 2-degenerate graphs with n vertices. The extremal graphs are 2-stars (K_2 joined to n-2 independent vertices). (The sigma irregularity of a graph is the sum of the squares of the differences between the degrees over all edges of the graph.) - _Allan Bickle_, Jun 14 2023
