As an application, we derived a closed form formula for the Kirchhoff index of a prism graph. We show as a byproduct that an explicit sum formula involving trigonometric functions hold by comparing our formula for the Kirchhoff index and previously known results in the literature. We also expressed our formulas in terms of certain generalized Fibonacci numbers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-11T17:12:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "prism graph", "kirchhoff index", "effective resistances", "trigonometric functions hold", "explicit sum formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
