Further Results on Resistance Distance and Kirchhoff Index in Electric Networks
In electric circuit theory, it is of great interest to compute the effective resistance between any pairs of vertices of a network, as well as the Kirchhoff index. LetQ(G)be the graph obtained fromGby inserting a new vertex into every edge ofGand by joining by edges those pairs of these new vertices which lie on adjacent edges ofG. The set of such new vertices is denoted byI(G). TheQ-vertex corona ofG1andG2, denoted byG1⊙QG2, is the graph obtained from vertex disjointQ(G1)andVG1copies ofG2by joining theith vertex ofV(G1)to every vertex in theith copy ofG2. TheQ-edge corona ofG1andG2, denoted byG1⊖QG2, is the graph obtained from vertex disjointQ(G1)andIG1copies ofG2by joining theith vertex ofI(G1)to every vertex in theith copy ofG2. The objective of the present work is to obtain the resistance distance and Kirchhoff index for composite networks such asQ-vertex corona andQ-edge corona networks.
