contents Let $G^{w}=(V,E,w)$ be a positive-weighted graph with the weight $w(e)>0$ for all $e\in E$. The weighted graph $G^{\widetilde{w}}=(V,E,\widetilde{w})$ is called a hyper-dual number weighted graph, where the weight $\widetilde{w}(e)=w(e)+Δw(e)(\varepsilon+\varepsilon^{*})$ is a hyper dual number, $Δw(e)$ is a real number, $\varepsilon$ and $\varepsilon^{*}$ are two dual units, $e\in E$. In this paper, we give a representation for the Moore-Penrose inverse of the Laplacian matrix, and calculation formulas for the resistance distance and Kirchhoff index of $G^{\widetilde{w}}$, respectively. We establish quadratic forms of the Hessian matrices for the resistance distance and Kirchhoff index of $G^{w}$ via generalized matrix inverses. We further derive explicit bounds on the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrices for the resistance distance and the Kirchhoff index of $G^{w}$ in terms of graph parameters. We also prove that the Kirchhoff index of a positive-weighted graph with bounded edge weights is strongly convex on its edge weight vector.
