The Laplacian matrix of a graph $G$ is denoted by $L(G)=D(G)-A(G)$, where $D(G)=diag(d(v_{1}),\ldots , d(v_{n}))$ is a diagonal matrix and $A(G)$ is the adjacency matrix of $G$. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be two graphs. A one-edge connection of…

Suppose $G$ is a connected simple graph with the vertex set $V( G ) = \{ v_1,v_2,\cdots ,v_n \} $. Let $d_G( v_i,v_j ) $ be the least distance between $v_i$ and $v_j$ in $G$. Then the distance matrix of $G$ is $D( G ) =( d_{ij} ) _{n\times…
