Abstract and Applied Analysis

1. Introduction

A general problem of interest in physics, chemistry, and mathematics is the calculations of the energy of graphs [1–3], which has now become a popular topic of research; however, almost all of literature deal with the energy of the finite graphs. Yan and Zhang [4] first considered the asymptotic energy of the infinite lattice graphs; they obtained the asymptotic formulae for energies of various lattices. Historically in lattice statistics, the hexagonal lattice, 3.12.12 lattice, triangular kagomé lattice, and lattice have attracted the most attention [4–9]. Ising spins and XXZ/Ising spins on the have been studied in [10, 11].

Let be a simple graph with vertices, let be the adjacency matrix, and let be the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees of , respectively. The Laplacian eigenvalues of are and the signless Laplacian matrix is . The characteristic polynomial   , of    is called the    characteristic polynomial or    polynomial of and is denoted by . The spectrum of    which consists of the    eigenvalues is also called the    spectrum of , respectively. It is well known that , , and are symmetric and positive semidefinite; then we denote the eigenvalues of , , and by , , and , respectively. Details on its theory can be found in recent papers [12–14] and the references cited therein.

The famous graph energy for a simple graph , introduced by Gutman [1], is defined as . The quantity can be used to estimate the total -electron energy in conjugated hydrocarbons. As an analogue of , the incidence energy , is a novel topological index, inspired by Nikiforov idea [2], Jooyandeh et al. [15] introduced the concept of a graph as , which is the sum of the singular values of the incidence matrix . The index has attracted extensive attention due to its wide applications in physics, chemistry, graph theory, and so forth; for more work on , the readers are referred to papers [15–18].

In [4, 19] the energy and Kirchhoff index of toroidal lattices were studied. It is an interesting problem to study the incidence energy of some lattices with toroidal boundary condition. Motivated by results above, we consider the problem of computations of the of the 3.12.12 lattice, triangular kagomé lattice, and lattice with toroidal condition in this paper.

2.1. The 3.12.12 Lattice

The 3.12.12 lattice with toroidal boundary condition by physicists [5], denoted by , is illustrated in Figure 1.

Recently, the adjacency spectrum of 3.12.12 lattice has been proposed in [5] as follows.

Theorem 1 (see [5]). Let be the 3.12.12 lattice with toroidal boundary condition. Then the adjacency spectrum is where , , , .

The following result is an important relationship between and .

Consider that if is an -regular graph of order , then Consequently, One can conclude that Define the mapping maps the eigenvalues of to the eigenvalues of and can be considered as an isomorphism of the -spectrum to the corresponding the -spectrum for regular graphs.

Suppose that is an -regular graph with vertices and . Then

Note that is the line graph of the subdivision of which is a -regular graph with vertices, and has vertices. Hence, we get the following theorem.

By the definition of the incidence energy, we can easily get the incidence energy of .

Theorem 3. Let , , , . Then the incidence energy of can be expressed as

From theorem above, we consider that Consequently, one can easily arrive to the asymptotic value of incidence energy

The numerical integration value in last line is calculated with MATLAB software calculation.

Theorem 4 (see [5]). The spectrum and the Laplacian spectrum of are where , , , .

Note that the triangular kagomé lattice is the line graph of the lattice and is a -regular graph with vertices.

The above numerical integration value implies that has the asymptotic incidence energy .

Remark 6. In comparison to [5], the authors have derived the formulae of the number of spanning trees, the energy, and the Kirchhoff index of the triangular kagomé lattice with toroidal boundary condition in [5], while we have handled the of the 3.12.12 lattice, triangular kagomé lattice, which enriches and extends the earlier results by Liu and Yan [5].
