Introduction and Preliminaries
e monogenic semigroup graph is inspired by zero divisor graphs. erefore, before moving on to the main topic, we will focus on the studies on zero divisor graphs (see [1][2][3][4]). In relation to the study of zero divisor graphs that has many authors researching commutative and noncommutative rings and how it has advanced, DeMeyer et al. [5,6] have developed research on commutative and noncommutative semigroups related to zero divisor graphs. e authors in [7] utilised the adjacent rule of vertices while still keeping the original idea. e authors determined a finite multiplicative monogenic semigroup with 0 as follows: By utilizing the idea defined in [5,6], the authors obtained a new graph related to monogenic semigroups in [7]. e vertices of this graph are all nonzero elements in S M and for any two different vertices x i and x j where (1 ≤ i, j ≤ n) are linked to each other, if and only if i + j > n. ere are many studies concerning monogenic semigroup graphs which were published by Akgüneş et al. (see for example [8][9][10]).
In chemistry, topological indices have been around for more than half a century [11]. In newer times, they are being extensively investigated also by mathematicians. ese indices are used to model structural properties of molecules and provide information of value for physical chemistry, material science, pharmacology, environmental sciences, and biology [12]. Recently, a new such graph-based topological index, called Sombor index, was put forward by Gutman [13]. Initially, the index was applied in chemistry [14][15][16][17][18] and soon attracted the interest of mathematicians [19][20][21][22]. Eventually, however, the Sombor index found applications also in network science and was used for modeling dynamical effects in biology, social, and technological complex systems [23]. It seems that this index became interesting also for military purposes [24]. All this happened within less than one year since the publication of the paper [13]. In view of this wide research activity on Sombor index, it may be of interest to seek for its deeper algebraic connections. In this paper, we report some results relating the Sombor index with an important class of algebraic structures, namely, with monogenic semigroups. For a graph G, its edge set and vertex set are denoted by E(G) and V(G), respectively. Sombor index discovered by; Gutman [13] is one of the vertex-degree-based topological indices defined by because the function F(x, y) � ������ x 2 + y 2 was not utilised. Also, as a reminder, for a real number r, we identify by ⌊r⌋ the greatest integer ≤r, and by ⌈r⌉, the least integer ≥r. It is clear that r − 1 < ⌊r⌋ ≤ r and r ≤ ⌈r⌉ < r + 1. However, for a natural number n, we have if n is even, In this paper, we focus on determining the explicit formula of Sombor index of the monogenic semigroup graph.
2. An Algorithm e authors in [8] to simplify their research gave the algorithm concerning the neighborhood of vertices by utilizing the initial statement of monogenic semigroup graph. We will use this algorithm in our main theorem in the next section.
I n : the vertex x n is adjoining to every vertex Carrying on the algorithm this way, we get the following result, depending on whether the number n is odd or even. If n is even, I (n/2)+2 : the vertex x (n/2)+2 is adjoining not only to the vertices x (n/2)− 1 , x (n/2) , and x (n/2)+1 but also to the vertices x n , x n− 1 , x n− 2 , . . ., x (n/2)+3 . I (n/2)+1 : the vertex x (n/2)+1 is adjoining not only to the single vertex x (n/2) but also to the vertices x n , x n− 1 , x n− 2 , . . ., x (n/2)+2 . If n is odd, In the lemma given below, the degrees of vertices ere are many studies on the degree series. Regarding this, you can refer to [7,25] and references cited in these studies. In fact, in the lemma below, it is mentioned that there is an ordering between the degrees d 1 , d 2 , . . . , d n . You can reach the proof of this lemma from [7], as well as from the algorithm given above (see [8]).

Lemma 1.
Remark 1. Paying attention to Lemma 1, the repeated terms are given in the following: erefore, the degree of d n is denoted by n − 1, although the number of vertices is n.

Calculating Sombor Index of Γ(S M )
In this section, we will obtain an exact formula of Sombor index over monogenic semigroup graph.

Theorem 1. For any monogenic semigroup S M as given in (1), the Sombor index of the graph Γ(S M ) is
if n is even, Proof. Since our aim is to formulate SO(Γ(S M )) in terms of the total number of degrees, we need to treat the sum as the sum of different blocks and then calculate each separately. During our calculations, we will use the algorithm given in Section 2 here, as it offers a very systematic way of calculating the degrees of vertices. We will also make use of equations (3) and (4) and Remark 1 If n is odd, As a result, the Sombor index of Γ(S M ) is written as the sum below: When calculating the Sombor index sum, we will write the smallest degree at the end of the line, so we will get a second total and this will provide us with ease of operation.
By the way, while making these calculations, we use the equation ⌊n/2⌋ � ((n − 1)/(2)) given in (2) for the case where n is odd.
If similar operations applied in [SO] n are applied in [SO] n−1 , we obtain If we follow similar steps as if n is odd, we will get the following sum if n is even: □ Corollary 1. In [26,27], the authors exhibited that the Sombor index can be an integer in several graph structures. In monogenic semigroup graphs, it is seen that it is not possible for the Sombor index to take an integer value according to the formula given in eorem 1.
We will give the following examples to reinforce eorem 1.

Example 1.
Consider the monogenic semigroup S 6 M given below and calculate the Sombor index of Γ(S 6 M ) graph by applying the rule given in eorem 1: Monogenic semigroup graphs, which are defined with inspiration from zero divisor graphs, also contain the 0 element. Because the vertices of x i and x j , which are taken arbitrarily in the monogenic semigroup, can be connected with each other, that is, the necessary and sufficient condition for the condition of x i x j � 0 is to be i + j > n. In line with this information, the S 6 M graph is given in Figure 1.
In the example below, the Sombor index of the corresponding hydrogen-suppressed molecular graph, which is equivalent to Γ(S 4 M ) monogenic semigroup graph, is calculated.

Example 2.
e Sombor index of the monogenic semigroup S 4 M given below is calculated by applying eorem 1.
e S 4 M graph is given in Figure 2.
As can be seen, the Sombor index of a monogenic semigroup graph can be calculated very easily with the given formula in eorem 1.
