Abstract : In a graph G, the status σ(α) of a vertex α is given by σ(α) = ∑ (β ∈ V(G)) d(α, β), where V(G) represents the vertex set and d(α, β) denotes the distance between α and β in G. The status elliptic Sombor index (SESO) is defined as SESO(G) = ∑ (αβ ∈ E(G)) (σ(α) + σ(β)) √(σ(α)² + σ(β)²), where E(G) is the edge set of the graph G. In this paper, we investigate the comparative analysis of molecular graphs of octane isomers with status-based indices, observing that the status elliptic Sombor index attains the highest value among them. Additionally, we establish certain bounds for this index in terms of diameter and other status-based indices. Furthermore, we compute exact values of the status elliptic Sombor index for specific graph classes.
