Abstract

The harmonic polynomial was defined in order to understand better the harmonic topological index. Here, we obtain several properties of this polynomial, and we prove that several properties of a graph can be deduced from its harmonic polynomial. Also, we prove that graphs with the same harmonic polynomial share many properties although they are not necessarily isomorphic.
