Abstract

Substituting each edge of a simple connected graph GG by a path of length 1 and kk paths of length 5 generates the kk-hexagonal graph Hk(G)H^k(G). Iterative graph Hnk(G)H^k_n(G) is produced when the preceding constructions are repeated nn times. According to the graph structure, we obtain a set of linear equations, and derive the entirely normalized Laplacian spectrum of Hnk(G)H^k_n(G) when k=1k = 1 and k2k \geqslant 2 respectively by analyzing the structure of the solutions of these linear equations. We find significant formulas to calculate the Kemeny's constant, multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index and number of spanning trees of Hnk(G)H^k_n(G) as applications.
