Abstract

Weighted Padovan graphs Φkn\Phi^{n}_{k}, n1n \geq 1, n2k2n23\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor \leq k \leq \lfloor \frac{2n-2}{3} \rfloor, are introduced as the graphs whose vertices are all Padovan words of length nn with kk 11s, two vertices being adjacent if one can be obtained from the other by replacing exactly one 0101 with a 1010. By definition, kV(Φkn)=Pn+2\sum_k |V(\Phi^{n}_{k})|=P_{n+2}, where PnP_n is the nnth Padovan number. Two families of graphs isomorphic to weighted Padovan graphs are presented. The order, the size, the degree, the diameter, the cube polynomial, and the automorphism group of weighted Padovan graphs are determined. It is also proved that they are median graphs.
