The distance d(u;vjG) between the vertices u and v of a (connected) graph G is the length (= number of edges) of a shortest path connecting u and v . The Wiener number W(G) of G is the sum of distances between all pairs of vertices of G. We consider a class of Wiener{type invariants W‚(G), deflned as the sum of the terms d(u;vjG) ‚ over all pairs of vertices of G. Several special cases of W‚(G), namely the invariants for ‚ = +1 (the original Wiener number) as well as for ‚ = i2;i1;+1=2;+2 and +3, were previously studied in the chemical literature, and found applications as molecular structure descriptors. We modify the deflnition of W‚(G) so that it extends also to non-connected graphs and then deduce the identity W‚+1(T) = (n i 1)W‚(T) i P W‚(T i e), valid for any n-vertex tree T , with the summation embracing all edges e of T .
