Abstract
Hex-derived network has an assortment of significant applications in medicine store, equipment, and network organization. Graph entropy depends upon distribution probability of vertex set and on graph itself. There are numerous issues in discrete math, software engineering, statistics, and data innovation where graph entropies are utilized to portray the reasonable constructions. In this paper, we talk about hex-derived network of type 3 denoted as . We likewise figure degree-based entropies, for example, Randic’, ABC, and GA entropy of .
1. Introduction and Preliminary Results
A graph is set of points, where each pair of points tt also known as vertex is connected by an edge (also known as link or line). Here , , is the set of vertices and edges, respectively. Topological indices, for example, are a tool developed by graph theory for chemists. Chemical graphs are frequently used to model molecules and molecular compounds. A graph-theoretic illustration of structural formula of chemical compound is molecular graph, with vertices and edges correspond atoms and chemical bonds.
The structure that corresponds to a chemical system, used to characterize the components such as atoms and bonds between them, is a chemical graph. In it, the vertices represent the atoms, and the edges represent the chemical bonds. Molecular graph can represent the structural formula of chemical compound.
Cheminformatics is the combination of many fields like mathematics, information technology, and chemistry. Cheminformatics deals to predict physiochemical and biochemical activities of compounds like alkanes and benzenoid in QSAR and QSPR studies. To predict these characteristics, structure invariants are used, known as topological indices. These indices are uniquely defined for each structure.
Topological index is a function , where represents the real numbers and represents simple graph which containing a characteristic that if and are isomorphic, then . A whole graph may be expressed by a uniquely defined number set, a polynomial, a matrix, a relation table, or numerical value (known as a topological index).
The first topological indices are Wiener index [1] and written as
Entropy has a variety of uses in field of biology, chemistry, information technology, and computer science [2]. Entropy can also use to decompose the graph into a special kind of subgraph. Due to the decomposition, a tree-like structure is obtained. Rather than computing the entropy of entire graph, we can simply figure the entropy of that inferred structure [3].
Graph entropy was first defined by Mowshowitz and Krner investigate the problem related to information and coding theory with the help of graph entropy. The definition of Entropy gave by Shannon in is [4].
For graph , is finite vertex set. Let be the density of probability of vertex set. is vertex packing polytope of . Then, entropy of with respect to is
Graph entropy has been used comprehensively to depict the design of graph-based systems in mathematical science [5]. Rashevsky said that graph entropy is reliant upon order of vertices [6].
Hex-derived network of type 3 is built from hexagonal lattice. is two-dimensional bunch of six triangles. Subsequent to adding a layer of triangles around the side of structure , see Figure 1. Essentially adding number of layers of triangles, we got . After supplant all subgraphs into a planar octahedron once, the subsequent graph will be hex-derived network of type 3. For point by point development, we allude the peruser to worry with the article [7, 8].

3. Discussion
Entropy has lot of applications in many fields. In computer science, it tells the flow of information. In the field of chemistry, it is the amount of energy that is unavailable for doing work. So, the calculation of exact numerical value of entropy is beneficial for researchers. That is the reason we register a few upsides of degree-based entropies of . Besides, we build the Table 2, to study the behavior of the degree-based entropies for different upsides of . From Table 2, we can see that as increases value of entropy for Randic’ and ABC, GA also increases. Toward the end, we build some graphical portrayal of these entropies in Figures 3–8, which elaborate the variation in the values of indices as increases.

Our future work is to find the entropies of fourth type of and reversed degree-based topological indices of various networks.
