The Minimal Kirchhoff Index Of Theta Shape Graph

Xiaomin Re, Jinyu Zou, Haizhen Ren

Abstract— The resistance distance between any two vertices of a connected graph G is defined as the effective resistance between them in the electrical network constructed from G by replacing each edge of G with unit resistor. Kirchhoff index is a structure-descriptor based on resistance distance. For the theta shape graphs(a specified class of bicycle graphs), the ordering rations of their Kirchhoff index remain open. In this paper, some new ordering relations are obtained by three graph transformations, and the minimal Kirchhoff index and the corresponding graph in this class of graphs is also discussed.
