Abstract: Graph invariants are widely used to construct entropy-based metrics to describe the structures of complex networks. In particular, graph entropy based on vertex degrees is often used to measure graph structure information after graph operations.The degree-based graph entropy calculation on some graph operations containing the symmetric difference, Cartesian product, tensor product, Corona product of graphs are presented. These results are applied to calculate the degree-based graph entropy of molecular graphs such as nano-structure and hypercubes.

Key words: graph operation, graph entropy, Shannon entropy, vertex degree, molecular graph
