Comments

For n>=2, a(n) is the second Zagreb index of the angular phenylene shown in the Bodroza-Pantic et al. reference (Fig. 1 (b)).

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.

The M-polynomial of the angular phenylene A(n) is M(A(n); x, y) = (n + 4)*x^2*y^2 + 2*n*x^2*y^3 + (5*n - 6)*x^3*y^3.
