  • Abstract
    Gutman et al. gave some relations for computing the Hosoya indices of two special benzenoid systems 𝑅n and 𝑃n . In this paper, we compute the Hosoya index and Merrifield-Simmons index of 𝑅n and 𝑃n by means of introducing four vectors for each benzenoid system and index. As a result, we compute the Hosoya index and the Merrifield-Simmons index of 𝑅n and 𝑃n by means of a product of a certain matrix of degree 𝑛 and a certain vector.
