In this paper two classes of corona are defined:edge-subdivision-vertex coronaG1∨G2and edge-subdivision-edge coronaG1∀G2.Then,theA-spectrum (respectively,L-spectrum,Q-spectrum) of the two classes of new graphs are given in terms of the corresponding spectra ofG1andG2.By using the Laplacian spectra,the number of spanning trees and Kirchhoff index ofG1∨G2andG1∀G2are obtained.

LetG=(V,E) be a graph with vertex setV={v1,v2,…,vn} and edge setE.The adjacency matrix ofGis denoted byA.The Laplacian matrix ofGis defined asL=D-A.Denote the eigenvalues ofLbyμ1(G)≥μ2(G)≥…≥μn(G).The signless Laplacian matrix ofGis defined asQ=D+A.For a graphG,we callfA(respectively,fL,fQ) the adjacent (respectively,Laplacian,signless Laplacian ) characteristic polynomial ofG[1-3].Calculating the spectra of graphs as well as formulating the characteristic polynomials of graphs is a fundamental and very meaningful work in spectral graph theory.

The subdivision graphS(G)[3]of a graphGis the graph obtained by inserting a new vertex into every edge ofG.We denote the set of such new vertices byI(G).

Definition 1 The edge-subdivision-vertex corona of two vertex-disjoint graphsG1andG2,denoted byG1∨G2,is the graph obtained fromG1and |E(G1)| copies ofS(G2) with each edge ofG1corresponding to one copy ofS(G2) and all vertex-disjoint,by joining end-vertex of theith edge ofE(G1) to each vertex ofV(G2) in theith copy ofS(G2).

Definition 2 The edge-subdivision-edge corona of two vertex-disjoint graphsG1andG2,denoted byG1∀G2,is the graph obtained fromG1and |E(G1)| copies ofS(G2) with each edge ofG1corresponding to one copy ofS(G2) and all vertex-disjoint,by joining end-vertex of theith edge ofE(G1) to each vertex ofI(G2) in theith copy ofS(G2).

The paper is organized as follows.In section 1,some lemmas used in this paper are given.In section 2,theA-spectrum (respectively,L-spectrum,Q-spectrum) of edge-subdivision-vertex coronaG1∨G2for an regular graphG1and an regular graphG2(see Theorems 1,2,3) are computed.In section 3,theA-spectrum (respectively,L-spectrum,Q-spectrum) of edge-subdivision-edge coronaG1∀G2for an regular graphG1and an regular graphG2(see Theorems 4,5,6) are obtained.By Theorems 2 and 5,the number of spanning tree and Kirchhoff index ofG1∨G2andG1∀G2(see Corollaries 2,3,5,6) are obtained.
