On Normalized Laplacians, Degree-Kirchhoff Index and Spanning Tree of Generalized Phenylene

Abstract

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.
