%N A304166 a(n) = 972*n^2 - 1224*n + 414 with n > 0.
%C A304166 a(n) provides the second Zagreb index of the HcDN1(n) network (see Fig. 3 in the Hayat et al. paper).
%C A304166 The second Zagreb index of a simple connected graph is the sum of the degree products d(i)d(j) over all edges ij of the graph.
%C A304166 The M-polynomial of HcDN1(n) is M(HcDN1(n); x,y) = 6x^3*y^3 + 12(n-1)x^3*y^5 + 6nx^3*y^6 + 18(n-1)x^5*y^6 + (27n^2 - 57n + 30)x^6*y^6. - _Emeric Deutsch_, May 11 2018
