Abstract
In this paper we give a complete description of the ordering relations in the set of catacondensed hexagonal systems, with respect to a vertex-degree-based topological index. As a consequence, extremal values of vertex-degree-based topological indices in special subsets of the set of catacondensed hexagonal systems are computed.
