Abstract

Abstract Let G = (V, E) be a connected graph with 2-connected blocks H 1, H 2, . . . , Hr . Motivated by the exponential distance matrix, Bapat and Sivasubramanian in [4] defined its product distance matrix DG and showed that det DG only depends on det DHi for 1 ≤ i ≤ r and not on the manner in which its blocks are connected. In this work, when distances are symmetric, we generalize this result to the Smith Normal Form of DG and give an explicit formula for the invariant factors of DG .
