For a graph G, the graph R(G) of a graph G is the graph obtained by adding a new vertex for each edge of G and joining each new vertex to both end vertices of the correspond- ing edge. Let I(G) be the set of newly added vertices. In this…

We obtain a general formula for the resistance distance (or effective resistance) between any pair of nodes in a general family of graphs which we call flower graphs. Flower graphs are obtained from identifying nodes of multiple copies of a…
We study three resistance distance-based graph invariants: the Kirchhoff index, and two modifications, namely, the multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index and the additive degree-Kirchhoff index. In work in press, one of the present authors…

The central graph $C(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph obtained by inserting a new vertex into each edge of $G$ exactly once and joining all the non-adjacent vertices in $G$. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be two vertex disjoint graphs. The central…
Resistance distance is a novel distance function, also a new intrinsic graph metric, which makes some extensions of ordinary distance. Let On be a linear crossed octagonal graph. Recently, Pan and Li (2018) derived the closed formulas for…
Given an undirected graph, the resistance distance between two nodes is the resistance one would measure between these two nodes in an electrical network if edges were resistors. Summing these distances over all pairs of nodes yields the…

We establish several contraction formulas for Kirchhoff index. We relate Kirchhoff index with some other metrized graph invariants. By applying our contraction formulas successively when the graph is a tree, we derive new formulas for…
Any graph can be considered as a network of resistors, each of which has a resistance of $1 \Omega.$ The resistance distance $r_{ij}$ between a pair of vertices $i$ and $j$ in a graph is defined as the effective resistance between $i$ and…
