Two Laplacians for the resistance distance matrix of a graph (2401.15300v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we present two new matrices, namely the resistance Laplacian and resistance signless Laplacian matrix of a connected graph. We provide a generalized form of these matrices for different classes of graphs, including the complete graph, complete bipartite graph, and cycle. We investigate the spectral properties of these matrices, analyzing their eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Moreover, we introduce a concept similar to graph energy and define it as the resistance Laplacian energy of a graph and further discuss some bounds for this energy.
