Description:
The bond incident degree (BID) indices can be written as a linear combination of the number of edges xi,j with end vertices of degree i and j. We introduce two transformations, namely, linearizing and unbranching, on catacondensed pentagonal systems and show that BID indices are monotone with respect to these transformations. We derive a general expression for calculating the BID indices of any catacondensed pentagonal system with a given number of pentagons, angular pentagons, and branched pentagons. Finally, we characterize the CPSs for which BID indices assume extremal values and compute their BID indices.
