Abstract

Given an arbitrary connected GG, the nn-polygon graph τn(G)\tau_n(G) is obtained by adding a path with length nn (n2)(n\geq 2) to each edge of graph GG, and the iterated nn-polygon graphs τng(G)\tau_n^g(G) (g0g\geq 0), is obtained from the iteration τng(G)=τn(τng1(G))\tau_n^g(G)=\tau_n(\tau_n^{g-1}(G)), with initial condition τn0(G)=G\tau_n^0(G)=G. In this paper, a method for calculating the eigenvalues of normalized Laplacian matrix for graph τn(G)\tau_n(G) is presented if the eigenvalues of normalized Laplacian matrix for graph GG is given firstly. Then, the normalized Laplacian spectrums for the graph τn(G)\tau_n(G) and the graphs τng(G)\tau_n^g(G) (g0g\geq 0) can also be derived. Finally, as applications, we calculate the multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index, Kemeny's constant and the number of spanning trees for the graph τn(G)\tau_n(G) and the graphs τng(G)\tau_n^g(G) by exploring their connections with the normalized Laplacian spectrum, exact results for these quantities are obtained.
