We extend known results concerning crossing numbers by giving the crossing
number of the join product $G+D_{n}$, where the connected graph
$G$ consists of one
$4$-cycle and of two leaves incident with the same vertex of
the
$4$-cycle, and
$D_{n}$ consists of
$n$ isolated vertices. The proofs are done with the help of
software that generates all cyclic permutations for a given number
$k$ and creates a graph for calculating the distances between
all
$(k-1)!$ vertices of the graph.
