title: Master connectivity index and master connectivity polynomial.
abstract: We give the standard expressions of the Zagreb indices, Randić indices and their variants. Then we present the master connectivity index and show how this index can generate all connectivity indices of both varieties. We also present the master connectivity polynomial and show the relationship between this polynomial and the master connectivity index. Because of this relationship, the master connectivity polynomial can also be used to generate connectivity indices.
