Abstract

Given a graph G with vertex set V(G)=V and edge set E(G)=E, let G^l be the line graph and G^c the complement of G. Let G^0 be the graph with V(G^0)=V and with no edges, G^1 the complete graph with the vertex set V, G^+=G and G^-=G^c. Let B(G) (B^c(G)) be the graph with the vertex set V@?E such that (v,e) is an edge in B(G) (resp., in B^c(G)) if and only if v@?V, e@?E and vertex v is incident (resp., not incident) to edge e in G. Given x,y,z@?{0,1,+,-}, the xyz-transformationG^x^y^zofG is the graph with the vertex set V(G^x^y^z)=V@?E and the edge set E(G^x^y^z)=E(G^x)@?E((G^l)^y)@?E(W), where W=B(G) if z=+, W=B^c(G) if z=-, W is the graph with V(W)=V@?E and with no edges if z=0, and W is the complete bipartite graph with parts V and E if z=1. In this paper we obtain the Laplacian characteristic polynomials and some other Laplacian parameters of every xyz-transformation of an r-regular graph G in terms of |V|, r, and the Laplacian spectrum of G.
