On trees of fixed order, we show a direct relation between Kemeny's constant and Wiener index, and provide a new formula of Kemeny's constant from the relation with a combinatorial interpretation. Moreover, the relation simplifies proofs of…
The Kirchhoff index of a connected graph is the sum of resistance distances between all unordered pairs of vertices in the graph. It found considerable applications in a variety of fields. In this paper, we determine the minimum Kirchhoff…
In this paper, we introduce two families of planar and self-similar graphs which have small-world properties. The constructed models are based on an iterative process where each step of a certain formulation of modules results in a final…
Let $G$ be a connected graph. The resistance distance between any two vertices of $G$ is equal to the effective resistance between them in the corresponding electrical network constructed from $G$ by replacing each edge with a unit…
The number of spanning trees in a class of directed circulant graphs with generators depending linearly on the number of vertices $\beta n$, and in the $n$-th and $(n-1)$-th power graphs of the $\beta n$-cycle are evaluated as a product of…
We explicitly compute the effective resistances between any two vertices of a ladder graph by using circuit reductions. Using our findings, we obtain explicit formulas for Kirchhoff index and admissible invariants of a ladder graph…
A bi-Cayley graph over a cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is called a bicirculant graph. Let $\Gamma=BC(\mathbb{Z}_n; R,T,S)$ be a bicirculant graph with $R=R^{-1}\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_n\setminus \{0\}$ and $T=T^{-1}\subseteq…
In this paper, we provide an exact formula for the average hitting times in a wheel graph $W_{N+1}$ using a combinatorial approach. For this wheel graph, the average hitting times can be expressed using Fibonacci numbers when the number of…
In this paper we give an exact analytical expression for the number of spanning trees of an infinite family of outerplanar, small-world and self-similar graphs. This number is an important graph invariant related to different topological…
The Kirchhoff index of a connected graph is the sum of resistance distances between all unordered pairs of vertices in the graph. Its considerable applications are found in a variety of fields. In this paper, we determine the maximum value…
By means of analytic techniques we show that the expected number of spanning trees in a connected labelled series-parallel graph on $n$ vertices chosen uniformly at random satisfies an estimate of the form $s \varrho^{-n} (1+o(1))$, where…
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…
For any integer $k\geq 2$, a spanning $k$-ended tree is a spanning tree with at most $k$ leaves. In this paper, we provide a tight spectral radius condition for the existence of a spanning $k$-ended tree in $t$-connected graphs, which…
In this paper, we investigate various algebraic and graph theoretic properties of the distance matrix of a graph. Two graphs are $D$-cospectral if their distance matrices have the same spectrum. We construct infinite pairs of $D$-cospectral…
Cayley's formula states that there are $n^{n-2}$ spanning trees in the complete graph on $n$ vertices; it has been proved in more than a dozen different ways over its 150 year history. The complete graphs are a special case of threshold…
For integer $k\geq2,$ a spanning $k$-ended-tree is a spanning tree with at most $k$ leaves. Motivated by the closure theorem of Broersma and Tuinstra [Independence trees and Hamilton cycles, J. Graph Theory 29 (1998) 227--237], we provide…
We present a new characterization of $k$-trees based on their reduced clique graphs and $(k+1)$-line graphs, which are block graphs. We explore structural properties of these two classes, showing that the number of clique-trees of a…
Spectrum graph theory not only facilitate comprehensively reflect the topological structure and dynamic characteristics of networks, but also offer significant and noteworthy applications in theoretical chemistry, network science and other…
We find closed form formulas for Kemeny's constant and its relationship with two Kirchhoffian indices for some composite graphs that use as basic building block a graph endowed with one of several symmetry properties.
We find closed form formulas for the Kemeny's constant and the Kirchhoff index for the cluster $G_1\{G_2\}$ of two highly symmetric graphs $G_1$, $G_2$, in terms of the parameters of the original graphs. We also discuss some necessary…
