## Abstract

In this paper, we mainly solve the explicit analytical expressions for the expected values of the Gutman index, Schultz index, multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index and additive degree-Kirchhoff index of a random cyclooctatetraene chain with $n$ octagons. We also obtain the average values of these four indices with respect to the set of all these cyclooctatetraene chains.
