What is it about?

Resistance distance was introduced by Klein and Randić as a generalisation of the classical distance. The Kirchhoff index Kf(G) of a graph G is the sum of resistance distances between all unordered pairs of vertices. In this article we characterise the extremal graphs with the maximal Kirchhoff index among all non-trivial quasi-tree graphs of order n. Moreover, we obtain a lower bound on the Kirchhoff index for all non-trivial quasi-tree graphs of order n.
