Abstract

The aim of this paper is to find an analytical formula for the Kirchhoff index of circulant graphs \({{C}_{n}}({{s}_{1}},{{s}_{2}},\; \ldots ,\;{{s}_{k}})\) and \({{C}_{{2n}}}({{s}_{1}},{{s}_{2}},\; \ldots ,\;{{s}_{k}},n)\) with even and odd valency, respectively. The asymptotic behavior of the Kirchhoff index as n → ∞ is investigated. We proof that the Kirchhoff index of a circulant graph can be expressed as a sum of a cubic polynomial in n and a quantity that vanishes exponentially as n → ∞.
