چکیده

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 graphs m ≤ n , the complete bipartite graph Km,n has minimal Kirchhoff index and the tree dumbbell D m n, n − m 1 /2 , n − m 1 /2 has maximal Kirchhoff index. Then, we show that, among all bipartite graphs of order l, the complete bipartite graph K l/2 ,l− l/2 has minimal Kirchhoff index and the path Pl has maximal Kirchhoff index, respectively. Finally, bonds for the Kirchhoff index of m,n -bipartite graphs and bipartite graphs of order l are obtained by computing the Kirchhoff index of these extremal graphs.

Some lower bounds for the $L$-intersection number of graphs

‎For a set of non-negative integers~$L$‎, ‎the $L$-intersection number of a graph is the smallest number~$l$ for which there is an assignment of subsets $A_v subseteq {1,dots‎, ‎l}$ to vertices $v$‎, ‎such that every two vertices $u,v$ are adjacent if and only if $|A_u cap A_v|in L$‎. ‎The bipartite $L$-intersection number is defined similarly when the conditions are considered only for the ver...

On the Kirchhoff Index of Graphs

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 Kirch...
