Abstract
In this paper, we investigate arithmetical structures on Cartesian product graphs, particularly, ladder graph of the form P2\square Pm and grid graph of the form Pn \square Pm. An arithmetical structure on a finite and connected graph G is a pair (d, r) of positive integer vectors such that r is primitive (the gcd of its entries is 1) and (diag(d) - A)r = 0, where A is the adjacency matrix of G. Arithmetical structures have been widely studied for basic graph families such as paths and cycles. Extending these ideas to graph products, we first analyze the ladder graph P2 \square Pm, deriving structural properties and identifying patterns in the corresponding arithmetical configurations. We then generalize these results to the grid graph Pn \square Pm, where increased complexity arises due to higher-dimensional interactions. Our work provides new insights into the behavior,…
