Randic energy of specific graphs

Let $G$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V(G) = \{v_1, v_2,..., v_n\}$. The Randić matrix of $G$, denoted by $R(G)$, is defined as the $n\times n$ matrix whose $(i,j)$-entry is $(d_id_j)^{\frac{-1}{2}}$ if $v_i$ and $v_j$ are adjacent and $0$ for another cases. Let the eigenvalues of the Randić matrix $R(G)$ be $ρ_1\geq ρ_2\geq ...\geq ρ_n$ which are the roots of the Randić characteristic polynomial $\prod_{i=1}^n (ρ-ρ_i)$. The Randić energy $RE$ of $G$ is the sum of absolute values of the eigenvalues of $R(G)$. In this paper we compute the Randić characteristic polynomial and the Randić energy for specific graphs $G$.
