Theory of Coronoid Hydrocarbons II

The present monograph is a continuation of Cyvin SJ, Brunvoll J and Cyvin (1991c), a reference to be found in Bibliography. Naturally, the previous volume is cited frequently here. For the sake of brevity, it is referred to as "e;Volume I"e;. References to different chapters, sections or paragraphs are given like Vol. 1-1, 1-1.2 or 1-1.2.2, respectively. Also tables and equations in "e;Volume I"e; are cited; the very last equation therein, for instance, is Vol. I-{9.9). The present text spans from references to organic syntheses or attempted organic syntheses - - to stringent mathematical theorems proved by graph-theoretical methods. Enumerations of coronoid systems is a substantial part of the work. Algebraic methods involving combinatorics and generating functions are employed on one hand, and computer programming on the other. The whole book is supposed to demonstrate a piece of mathematical chemistry, which can be characterized as lying on the "e;interfaces between mathematics, chemistry and computer science"e;, a formulation used for the MATH/CHEM/COMP Conferences; d. Cyvin SJ, Brunvoll and Cyvin (1989d) in Bibliography. Financial support to BNC from the Norwegian Council for Science and the Humanities is gratefully acknowledged.
