Abstract
In this paper, we study the bargraphs in the perspective of a well-known topological index, namely the general zeroth-order Randić index. More precisely, we show that the expected value of the general zeroth-order Randić index over all bargraphs with n cells isn3(3α+1 + 2α + 3 · 22α−1) when n is large enough, where α is a non-zero real number.
