Researching Supereulerian index of a graph
is NP-hard. In this paper, we consider Supereulerian indices of some classes of graphs, Supereulerian index means the minimum integer
of iterated line graph
of a graph
such that
is Supereulerian. We show that Supereulerian indices of those graphs obtained by replacing every vertex of Petersen graph with
-cycle or a complete graph of order
, or adding
pendant edges to each vertex of Petersen graph are both 1. Concurrently, we show that Supereulerian indices of partial Generalized Petersen graphs are also 1.
