A star with 3 edges is called a claw. The star S k is edge-graceful when k is even and not when k is odd. It is an edge-transitive matchstick graph, and has diameter 2 (when l > 1), girth ∞ (it has no cycles), chromatic index k, and chromatic number 2 (when k > 0). Additionally, the star has large automorphism group, namely, the symmetric ...
In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Nauru graph is a symmetric, bipartite, cubic graph with 24 vertices and 36 edges. It was named by David Eppstein after the twelve-pointed star in the flag of Nauru. [1] It has chromatic number 2, chromatic index 3, diameter 4, radius 4 and girth 6. [2] It is also a 3-vertex-connected and 3-edge ...
The anarboricity of a graph is the maximum number of edge-disjoint nonacyclic subgraphs into which the edges of the graph can be partitioned. The star arboricity of a graph is the size of the minimum forest, each tree of which is a star (tree with at most one non-leaf node), into which the edges of the graph can be partitioned. If a tree is not ...
2. Another type of graph, also called a book, or a quadrilateral book, is a collection of 4-cycles joined at a shared edge; the Cartesian product of a star with an edge. 3. A book embedding is an embedding of a graph onto a topological book, a space formed by joining a collection of half-planes along a shared line. Usually, the vertices of the ...
The star graphs K 1,3, K 1,4, K 1,5, and K 1,6. A complete bipartite graph of K 4,7 showing that Turán's brick factory problem with 4 storage sites (yellow spots) and 7 kilns (blue spots) requires 18 crossings (red dots) For any k, K 1,k is called a star. [2] All complete bipartite graphs which are trees are stars.
A claw. In graph theory, an area of mathematics, a claw-free graph is a graph that does not have a claw as an induced subgraph.. A claw is another name for the complete bipartite graph, (that is, a star graph comprising three edges, three leaves, and a central vertex).
Coxeter's notation for the same graph would be {n} + {n/k}, a combination of the Schläfli symbols for the regular n-gon and star polygon from which the graph is formed. The Petersen graph itself is G(5, 2) or {5} + {5/2}. Any generalized Petersen graph can also be constructed from a voltage graph with two vertices, two self-loops, and one ...
Regular graphs of degree at most 2 are easy to classify: a 0-regular graph consists of disconnected vertices, a 1-regular graph consists of disconnected edges, and a 2-regular graph consists of a disjoint union of cycles and infinite chains. A 3-regular graph is known as a cubic graph.
