Abstract

The kk-parallel subdivision graph Sk(G)S_k(G) is generated from GG which each edge of GG is replaced by kk parallel paths of length 2. The 2k2k-parallel subdivision graph S2k(G)S_{2k}(G) is constructed from GG which each edge of GG is replaced by kk parallel paths of length 3. In this paper, the normalized Laplacian spectra of Sk(G)S_k(G) and S2k(G)S_{2k}(G) are given. They turn out that the multiplicities of the corresponding eigenvalues are only determined by kk. As applications, the expected hitting time, the expected commute time and any two-points resistance distance between vertices ii and jj of Sk(G)S_k(G), the normalized Laplacian spectra of Sk(G)S_k(G) and S2k(G)S_{2k}(G) with rr iterations are given. Moreover, the multiplicative degree Kirchhoff index, Kemeny's constant and the number of spanning tress of Sk(G)S_k(G), Skr(G)S_k^r(G), S2k(G)S_{2k}(G) and S2kr(G)S_{2k}^r(G) are respectively obtained. Our results have generalized the previous works in Xie et al. and Guo et al. respectively.
