Abstract

We find the generalized characteristic polynomial of graphs G($F_{1},F_{2},{\cdots},F_{v}$) the semi-zigzag product of G and ${\{F_{i}\}^{v}_{i=1}$ obtained from G by replacing vertices by circulant graphs of vertices and joining $F_{i}$'s along the edges of G. These graphs contain discrete tori and are key examples in the study of network model.
