Abstract

Let R(G) be the graph obtained from G by adding a new vertex corresponding to each edge of G and by joining each new vertex to the end vertices of the corresponding edge, and Q(G) be the graph obtained from G by inserting a new vertex into every edge of G and by joining by edges those pairs of these new vertices which lie on adjacent edges of G. In this paper, we determine the Laplacian polynomials of R(G) and Q(G) of a regular graph G; on the other hand, we derive formulae and lower bounds of the Kirchhoff index of these graphs.
