It has 104 edges and 52 vertices and is currently the smallest known example of a 4-regular matchstick graph. [3] It is a rigid graph. [4] Every 4-regular matchstick graph contains at least 20 vertices. [5] Examples of 4-regular matchstick graphs are currently known for all number of vertices ≥ 52 except for 53, 55, 56, 58, 59, 61 and 62.
207 is a Wedderburn-Etherington number. [1] There are exactly 207 different matchstick graphs with eight edges. [2] [3] 207 is a deficient number, as 207's proper divisors (divisors not including the number itself) only add up to 105: + + + + = <.
Every matchstick graph is a planar graph, [14] but some otherwise-planar unit distance graphs (such as the Moser spindle) have a crossing in every representation as a unit distance graph. Additionally, in the context of unit distance graphs, the term 'planar' should be used with care, as some authors use it to refer to the plane in which the ...
A matchstick puzzle ("Move 1 matchstick to make the equation 6+4=4 valid") and its solution below. Matchstick puzzles are rearrangement puzzles in which a number of matchsticks are arranged into shapes or numbers, and the problem to solve is usually formulated as moving a fixed number of matchsticks to achieve some specific other arrangement.
The number of perfect matchings in a complete graph K n (with n even) is given by the double factorial (n − 1)!!. [13] The numbers of matchings in complete graphs, without constraining the matchings to be perfect, are given by the telephone numbers. [14] The number of perfect matchings in a graph is also known as the hafnian of its adjacency ...
A scatter graph showing the results of Donald Michie's games against MENACE. Depending on the strategy employed by the human player, MENACE produces a different trend on scatter graphs of wins. [4] Using a random turn from the human player results in an almost-perfect positive trend. Playing the optimal strategy returns a slightly slower ...
A parity graph (the unique smallest cubic, matchstick graph) that is neither distance-hereditary nor bipartite. In graph theory, a parity graph is a graph in which every two induced paths between the same two vertices have the same parity: either both paths have odd length, or both have even length. [1]
A matchstick is a slender piece of flammable wood used as a match. Other uses include: Matchstick Banksia or Banksia cuneata, a flowering plant; Matchstick girl, a variant name of the fictional character "The Little Match Girl" Matchstick graph, a type of geometric graph; Matchstick Men, a 2003 American film; Matchstick model, a style of scale ...
