TLDR
In this article, the Laplacian spectra of a 3-prism graph with planar and polyhedral structure were calculated and applied to calculate the number of spanning trees and mean first-passage time.
Abstract
In this paper, we calculate the Laplacian spectra of a 3-prism graph and apply them. This graph is both planar and polyhedral, and belongs to the generalized Petersen graph. Using the regular structures of this graph, we obtain the recurrent relationships for Laplacian matrix between this graph and its initial state — a triangle — and further derive the corresponding relationships for Laplacian eigenvalues between them. By these relationships, we obtain the analytical expressions for the product and the sum of the reciprocals of all nonzero Laplacian eigenvalues. Finally we apply these expressions to calculate the number of spanning trees and mean first-passage time (MFPT) and see that the scaling of MFPT with the network size N is N2, which is larger than those performed on some uniformly recursive trees.

Applications of Laplacian spectra for n-prism networks

TL;DR: The analytical expressions for the product and the sum of reciprocals of all nonzero Laplacian eigenvalues are derived and used to handle various problems that often arise in the study of networks including Kirchhoff index, global mean-first passage time, average path length and the number of spanning trees.

TL;DR: This paper calculates the number of spanning trees in prism and antiprism graphs corresponding to the skeleton of a prism and an antiprisms by the electrically equivalent transformations and rules of weighted generating function and derives the analytical expressions for enumeration of spanning Trees.

Coherence in a family of tree networks with an application of Laplacian spectrum

TL;DR: It is seen that the scalings of first and second order coherence with network size N are lnN and N, which are smaller than some studied tree graphs, such as Peano basin fractal, T-graph, and generalized Vicsek fractal.

Statistical mechanics of complex networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.
