Let H n be the linear heptagonal networks with 2 n heptagons. We study the structure properties and the eigenvalues of the linear heptagonal networks. According to the Laplacian polynomial of H n , we utilize the method of decompositions. Thus, the Laplacian spectrum of H n is created by eigenvalues of a pair of matrices: L A and L S of order numbers 5 n + 1 and 4 n + 1 n ! / r ! n − r ! , respectively. On the basis of the roots and coefficients of their characteristic polynomials of L A and L S , we get not only the explicit forms of Kirchhoff index but also the corresponding total number of spanning trees of H n .

The normalized Laplacian plays an important role on studying the structure properties of non-regular networks. In fact, it focuses on the interplay between the structure properties and the eigenvalues of networks. Let H n be the linear heptagonal networks. It is interesting to deduce the degree-Kirchhoff index and the number of spanning trees of H n due to its complicated structures. In this article, we aimed to first determine the normalized Laplacian spectrum of H n by decomposition theorem and elementary operations which were not stated in previous results. We then derived the explicit formulas for degree-Kirchhoff index and the number of spanning trees with respect to H n .

Given a connected regular graph $G$, let $l(G)$ be its line graph, $s(G)$ its subdivision graph, $r(G)$ the graph obtained from $G$ by adding a new vertex corresponding to each edge of $G$ and joining each new vertex to the end vertices of the corresponding edge and $q(G)$ the graph obtained from $G$ by inserting a new vertex into every edge of $G$ and new edges joining the pairs of new vertices which lie on adjacent edges of $G$. A formula for the normalised Laplacian characteristic polynomial of $l(G)$ (respectively $s(G),r(G)$ and $q(G)$) in terms of the normalised Laplacian characteristic polynomial of $G$ and the number of vertices and edges of $G$ is developed and used to give a sharp lower bound for the degree-Kirchhoff index and a formula for the number of spanning trees of $l(G)$ (respectively $s(G),r(G)$ and $q(G)$).

The Kirchhoff index ofGis the sum of resistance distances between all pairs of vertices ofGin electrical networks.LEL(G)is the Laplacian-Energy-Like Invariant ofGin chemistry. In this paper, we define two classes of join graphs: the subdivision-vertex-vertex joinG1⊚G2and the subdivision-edge-edge joinG1⊝G2. We determine the generalized characteristic polynomial of them. We deduce the adjacency (Laplacian and signless Laplacian, resp.) characteristic polynomials ofG1⊚G2andG1⊝G2whenG1isr1-regular graph andG2isr2-regular graph. As applications, the Laplacian spectra enable us to get the formulas of the number of spanning trees, Kirchhoff index, andLELofG1⊚G2andG1⊝G2in terms of the Laplacian spectra ofG1andG2.

In this paper, we introduce a new graph operation called subdivision vertex-edge join (denoted by G 1 S ▹ ( G 2 V ∪ G 3 E ) for short), and then the adjacency spectrum, the Laplacian spectrum and the signless Laplacian spectrum of G 1 S ▹ ( G 2 V ∪ G 3 E ) are respectively determined in terms of the corresponding spectra for a regular graph G 1 and two arbitrary graphs G 2 and G 3 . All the above can be viewed as the generalizations of the main results in [X. Liu, Z. Zhang, Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc., 2017:1–17]. Furthermore, we also determine the normalized Laplacian spectrum of G 1 S ▹ ( G 2 V ∪ G 3 E ) whenever G i are regular graphs for each index i = 1 , 2 , 3 . As applications, we construct infinitely many pairs of A-cospectral mates, L-cospectral mates, Q-cospectral mates and L -cospectral mates. Finally, we give the number of spanning trees, the (degree-)Kirchhoff index and the Kemeny’s constant of G 1 S ▹ ( G 2 V ∪ G 3 E ) , respectively.

The normalized Laplacian is extremely important for analyzing the structural properties of non-regular graphs. The molecular graph of generalized phenylene consists of n hexagons and 2n squares, denoted by Ln6,4,4. In this paper, by using the normalized Laplacian polynomial decomposition theorem, we have investigated the normalized Laplacian spectrum of Ln6,4,4 consisting of the eigenvalues of symmetric tri-diagonal matrices LA and LS of order 4n+1. As an application, the significant formula is obtained to calculate the multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index and the number of spanning trees of generalized phenylene network based on the relationships between the coefficients and roots.

This paper considers commuting graphs over the semidihedral group SD8n. We compute their eigenvalues and obtain that these commuting graphs are not hyperenergetic for odd n≥15 or even n≥2. We further compute the Laplacian spectrum, the Laplacian energy and the number of spanning trees of the commuting graphs over SD8n. We also discuss vertex connectivity, planarity, and minimum disconnecting sets of these graphs and prove that these commuting graphs are not Hamiltonian.

In this paper, we give the relation between the spectrum of strongly regular graph and its clique-inserted graph. The Laplacian spectrum and the signless Laplacian spectrum of clique-inserted graph of strongly regular graph are calculated. We also give formulae expressing the energy, Kirchoff index, and the number of spanning trees of clique-inserted graph of a strongly regular graph. And, clique-inserted graph of the triangular graph T t , which is a strongly regular graph, is enumerated.
