In recent years, various Kirchhoff type problems have been extensively investigated by many authors due to their theoretical and practical importance, such problems are often referred to as being nonlocal because of the presence of the integral over the entire domain Ω. It is well known that this problem is analogous to the stationary problem of a model introduced by Kirchhoff [1]. More precise...

A m,n -bipartite graph is a bipartite graph such that one bipartition has m vertices and the other bipartition has n vertices. The tree dumbbell D n, a, b consists of the path Pn−a−b together with a independent vertices adjacent to one pendent vertex of Pn−a−b and b independent vertices adjacent to the other pendent vertex of Pn−a−b. In this paper, firstly, we show that, among m,n bipartite gra...

‎using nehari manifold methods and mountain pass theorem‎, ‎the existence of nontrivial and radially symmetric solutions for a class of $p$-kirchhoff-type system are established.

the reader to [1], [16], [17], [21], and their bibliographies, to get a taste of the variety of approaches used to study this descriptor. In [28], Zhou et al. studied the extremal graphs with given matching number, connectivity and the minimal Kirchhoff index. Also in [23], [25] and [26] the authors determined independently the extremality on the unicyclic graphs with respect to the Kirchhoff i...

We study solution methods for boundary value problems associated with the static Kirchhoff rod equations. Using the well known Kirchhoff kinetic analogy between the equations describing the spinning top in a gravity field and spatial rods, the static Kirchhoff rod equations can be fully integrated. We first give an explicit form of a general solution of the static Kirchhoff equations in paramet...

In electric circuit theory, it is of great interest to compute the effective resistance between any pair of vertices of a network, as well as the Kirchhoff index. During the past decade these parameters have been applied in organic chemistry as natural structural indexes different from the usual ones in order to achieve an improvement in the discrimination between different molecules that have ...

In this article we state a relation between the Kirchhoff and Wiener indices of a simple connected graph G and the Kirchhoff and Wiener indices of those subgraphs of G which are induced by its blocks. Then as an application, we define a composition of a rooted tree T and a graph G and calculate its Kirchhoff index in terms of parameters of T and G. Finally, we present an algorithm for computing...

Let G be a connected graph with vertex set V.G/. The degree Kirchhoff index of G is defined as S .G/D P fu;vg V.G/ d.u/d.v/R.u;v/, where d.u/ is the degree of vertex u, and R.u;v/ denotes the resistance distance between vertices u and v. In this paper we obtain some upper and lower bounds for the degree Kirchhoff index of graphs. We also obtain some bounds for the Nordhaus-Gaddum-type result fo...
