چکیده
Let G be a connected graph of order n with Laplacian eigenvalues μ1 ≥ μ2 ≥ . . .≥ μn−1 > μn = 0. The Kirchhoff index of G is defined as Kf = Kf(G) = n∑n−1 k=1 1/μk. In this paper. we give lower and upper bounds on Kf of graphs in terms on n, number of edges, maximum degree, and number of spanning trees. Moreover, we present lower and upper bounds on the Nordhaus–Gaddum-type result for the Kirchhoff index.

متن کاملThe Laplacian Polynomial and Kirchhoff Index of the k-th Semi Total Point Graphs
The k-th semi total point graph of a graph G, , is a graph obtained from G by adding k vertices corresponding to each edge and connecting them to the endpoints of edge considered. In this paper, a formula for Laplacian polynomial of in terms of characteristic and Laplacian polynomials of G is computed, where is a connected regular graph.The Kirchhoff index of is also computed.
متن کاملBounds for the Kirchhoff Index of Bipartite Graphs
A m,n -bipartite graph is a bipartite graph such that one bipartition has m vertices and the other bipartition has n vertices. The tree dumbbell D n, a, b consists of the path Pn−a−b together with a independent vertices adjacent to one pendent vertex of Pn−a−b and b independent vertices adjacent to the other pendent vertex of Pn−a−b. In this paper, firstly, we show that, among m,n bipartite gra...

متن کاملComputing the additive degree-Kirchhoff index with the Laplacian matrix
For any simple connected undirected graph, it is well known that the Kirchhoff and multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff indices can be computed using the Laplacian matrix. We show that the same is true for the additive degree-Kirchhoff index and give a compact Matlab program that computes all three Kirchhoffian indices with the Laplacian matrix as the only input.
