Resistance distance-based graph invariants of subdivisions and   triangulations of graphs
  We study three resistance distance-based graph invariants: the Kirchhoff index, and two modifications, namely, the multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index and the additive degree-Kirchhoff index. In work in press, one of the present authors (2014) and Sun et al. (2014) independently obtained (different) formulas for the Kirchhoff index of subdivisions of graphs. Huang et al. (2014) obtained a formula for the Kirchhoff index of triangulations of graphs. In our paper, first we derive formulae for the additive degree-Kirchhoff index and the multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff index of subdivisions and triangulations, as well as a new formula for the Kirchhoff index of triangulations, in terms of invariants of $G$. Then comparisons are made between each of our Kirchhoffian graph invariants for subdivision and triangulation. Finally, formulae for these graph invariants of iterated subdivisions and triangulations of graphs are obtained.
