In particular, we deduce a recursive formula for the distance between an arbitrary vertex and an extreme vertex of $S(G,t)$, and we obtain a recursive formula for the distance between two arbitrary vertices of $S(G,t)$ when the base graph is triangle-free. From these recursive formulas, we provide algorithms to compute the distance between vertices of $S(G,t)$. In addition, we give an explicit formula for the diameter and radius of $S(G,t)$ when the base graph is a tree.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-02T11:14:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C76", "05C12" ], "keywords": [ "generalized sierpinski graphs", "base graph", "recursive formula", "arbitrary vertex", "extreme vertex" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
