The document discusses methods to calculate upper and lower bounds of the Kirchoff index for a maximally controllable graph. The upper bound is found using a clique chain supergraph, while the lower bound uses a subgraph that is the cartesian product of a path graph and complete graph. Formulas involving the Laplacian spectra are provided.

The upper bound is calculated by constructing a supergraph of the maximally controllable graph as a clique chain GD = (n1 = k + 1, n2 = k, ..., nD = k). The Kirchoff index of the clique chain is given by a provided formula involving the number of nodes in each clique.

The lower bound is calculated by constructing a subgraph as the cartesian product of a path graph PD and complete graph Kk. The Kirchoff index of this graph is computed using a formula involving the Laplacian spectra of the graphs.

1 Upper Bound of Kirchoff Index of our graph


To find the upper bound of our maximally robust graph, we can construct the
supergraph of our graph which has the structure of a clique chain
GD = (n1 = k + 1, n2 = k, k, ....., nD = k)

Figure 1: Supergraph of our graph as clique chain GD = (n1 = k + 1, n2 =


k, k, ....., nD = k) (extra edges are shown in green)

Kirchoff Index of a clique chain is given by the following formula: [2]


(N − q−1
P
k=1 nk ) nj −1
PD+1 Pq−1 PD+1
RG ∗D = q=2 nq −1nq k=1 nk + N j=1 nj −1+nj +nj +1

e.g for N = 16, D =5, k = 3, corresponding clique chain as supergraph of


our graph would be (4,3,3,3,3)
(16− q−1
P
k=1 nk ) nj −1
P6 Pq−1 P6
RG ∗D = q=2 nq −1nq k=1 nk + 16 j=1 nj −1+nj +nj +1

where nk = #of nodes in kth clique,


nj = # of nodes in current (jth) clique
nj − 1 = # of nodes in clique previous to jth clique

1
nj + 1= # of nodes in clique next to jth clique

2 Lower bound of Kirchoff index of our graph


Lower bound of Kirchoff Index is to be found by constructing a subgraph of our
graph as a cartesian product of following two graphs:
1. PD (Path graph with diameter D)
2. Kk (Complete graph with k nodes)

Figure 2: Subergraph of our graph as cartesian product of PD and Kk

Kirchoff index of this graph is computed using the following formula [2]:
PN 1
Kf = N i=2 λi

First, we need to find out the Laplacian spectra of above graph, which is inves-
tigated in [1]
Using the results of [1] , eigen values of graph cartesian product is given by
λi = µp + ηq , 1 ≤ i ≤ N, 1 ≤ p ≤ D + 1, 1≤q≤k

where µp are eigen values of PD and ηq are eigen values of Kk


PD has eigenvalues

µp = 2 − 2 cos π(p−1)
D+1 , 1≤p≤D+1

and eigenvalues of Kk are as follows:


(
0, q=1
ηq =
k, q = 2, ....., k
The eigenvalues
( of graphs’cartesian product are as follows:
2 − 2 cos π(p−1)
D+1 , 1 ≤ p ≤ D + 1, 1≤i≤D+1
λi =
2 − 2 cos π(p−1)
D+1 + k, 1 ≤ p ≤ D + 1, D +2≤i≤N

Now, the Kirchoff Index of graphs’ cartesian product is
PD+1 1
PN 1
Kf = N i=2 π(p−1) +N i=D+2 2−2 cos π(p−1) 1≤p≤D+1
2−2 cos D+1 D+1 +k
