Abstract

The Sombor index of the graph $G$ is a recently introduced degree based topological index. It is defined as $SO = \sum_{uv \in E(G)} \sqrt{d(u)^2+d(v)^2}$, where $d(u)$ is the degree of the vertex u and $E(G)$ is the edge set of $G$.  In this paper we calculate $SO$ of some graph transformations.
