Balaban 10-cage
In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Balaban 10-cage or Balaban -cage is a 3-regular graph with 70 vertices and 105 edges named after Alexandru T. Balaban. Published in 1972, It was the first 10-cage discovered but it is not unique. The complete list of 10-cages and the proof of minimality was given by Mary R. O'Keefe and Pak Ken Wong. There exist 3 distinct -cages, the other two being the Harries graph and the Harries–Wong graph. Moreover, the Harries–Wong graph and Harries graph are cospectral graphs. The Balaban 10-cage has chromatic number 2, chromatic index 3, diameter 6, girth 10 and is hamiltonian. It is also a 3- vertex-connected graph and 3- edge-connected. The book thickness is 3 and the queue number is 2.Jessica Wolz, ''Engineering'' ''Linear Layouts with SAT''.

Chromatic Number
In graph theory, graph coloring is a special case of graph labeling; it is an assignment of labels traditionally called "colors" to elements of a graph subject to certain constraints. In its simplest form, it is a way of coloring the vertices of a graph such that no two adjacent vertices are of the same color; this is called a vertex coloring. Similarly, an edge coloring assigns a color to each edge so that no two adjacent edges are of the same color, and a face coloring of a planar graph assigns a color to each face or region so that no two faces that share a boundary have the same color. Vertex coloring is often used to introduce graph coloring problems, since other coloring problems can be transformed into a vertex coloring instance. For example, an edge coloring of a graph is just a vertex coloring of its line graph, and a face coloring of a plane graph is just a vertex coloring of its dual. However, non-vertex coloring problems are often stated and studied as-is. This is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Balaban 11-cage
In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Balaban 11-cage or Balaban (3,11)-cage is a 3-regular graph with 112 vertices and 168 edges named after Alexandru T. Balaban. The Balaban 11-cage is the unique (3,11)-cage. It was discovered by Balaban in 1973. The uniqueness was proved by Brendan McKay and Wendy Myrvold in 2003. The Balaban 11-cage is a Hamiltonian graph and can be constructed by excision from the Tutte 12-cage by removing a small subtree and suppressing the resulting vertices of degree two.Geoffrey Exoo & Robert Jajcay, Dynamic cage survey, Electr. J. Combin. 15 (2008) It has independence number 52, chromatic number 3, chromatic index 3, radius 6, diameter 8 and girth 11. It is also a 3- vertex-connected graph and a 3- edge-connected graph.

Molecular Graph
In chemical graph theory and in mathematical chemistry, a molecular graph or chemical graph is a representation of the structural formula of a chemical compound in terms of graph theory. A chemical graph is a labeled graph whose vertices correspond to the atoms of the compound and edges correspond to chemical bonds. Its vertices are labeled with the kinds of the corresponding atoms and edges are labeled with the types of bonds. For particular purposes any of the labelings may be ignored. A hydrogen-depleted molecular graph or hydrogen-suppressed molecular graph is the molecular graph with hydrogen vertices deleted. In some important cases (topological index calculation etc.) the following classical definition is sufficient: a molecular graph is a connected, undirected graph which admits a one-to-one correspondence with the structural formula of a chemical compound in which the vertices of the graph correspond to atoms of the molecule and edges of the graph correspond to chemical ...

Characteristic Polynomial
In linear algebra, the characteristic polynomial of a square matrix is a polynomial which is invariant under matrix similarity and has the eigenvalues as roots. It has the determinant and the trace of the matrix among its coefficients. The characteristic polynomial of an endomorphism of a finite-dimensional vector space is the characteristic polynomial of the matrix of that endomorphism over any base (that is, the characteristic polynomial does not depend on the choice of a basis). The characteristic equation, also known as the determinantal equation, is the equation obtained by equating the characteristic polynomial to zero. In spectral graph theory, the characteristic polynomial of a graph is the characteristic polynomial of its adjacency matrix. Motivation In linear algebra, eigenvalues and eigenvectors play a fundamental role, since, given a linear transformation, an eigenvector is a vector whose direction is not changed by the transformation, and the corresponding eigenva ...

Queue Number
In the mathematical field of graph theory, the queue number of a graph is a graph invariant defined analogously to stack number (book thickness) using first-in first-out (queue) orderings in place of last-in first-out (stack) orderings. Definition A queue layout of a given graph is defined by a total ordering of the vertices of the graph together with a partition of the edges into a number of "queues". The set of edges in each queue is required to avoid edges that are properly nested: if and are two edges in the same queue, then it should not be possible to have in the vertex ordering. The queue number of a graph is the minimum number of queues in a queue layout.. Equivalently, from a queue layout, one could process the edges in a single queue using a queue data structure, by considering the vertices in their given ordering, and when reaching a vertex, dequeueing all edges for which it is the second endpoint followed by enqueueing all edges for which it is the first en ...

Book Thickness
In graph theory, a book embedding is a generalization of planar embedding of a graph to embeddings into a ''book'', a collection of half-planes all having the same line as their boundary. Usually, the vertices of the graph are required to lie on this boundary line, called the ''spine'', and the edges are required to stay within a single half-plane. The book thickness of a graph is the smallest possible number of half-planes for any book embedding of the graph. Book thickness is also called pagenumber, stacknumber or fixed outerthickness. Book embeddings have also been used to define several other graph invariants including the pagewidth and book crossing number. Every graph with vertices has book thickness at most \lceil n/2\rceil, and this formula gives the exact book thickness for complete graphs. The graphs with book thickness one are the outerplanar graphs. The graphs with book thickness at most two are the subhamiltonian graphs, which are always planar; more generally, ev ...

K-edge-connected Graph
In graph theory, a connected graph is -edge-connected if it remains connected whenever fewer than edges are removed. The edge-connectivity of a graph is the largest for which the graph is -edge-connected. Edge connectivity and the enumeration of -edge-connected graphs was studied by Camille Jordan in 1869. Formal definition Let G = (V, E) be an arbitrary graph. If subgraph G' = (V, E \setminus X) is connected for all X \subseteq E where , X, < k, then ''G'' is ''k''-edge-connected. The edge connectivity of is the maximum value ''k'' such that ''G'' is ''k''-edge-connected. The smallest set ''X'' whose removal disconnects ''G'' is a in ''G''. The edge connectivity version of provi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
K-vertex-connected Graph
In graph theory, a connected graph is said to be -vertex-connected (or -connected) if it has more than vertices and remains connected whenever fewer than vertices are removed. The vertex-connectivity, or just connectivity, of a graph is the largest for which the graph is -vertex-connected. Definitions A graph (other than a complete graph) has connectivity ''k'' if ''k'' is the size of the smallest subset of vertices such that the graph becomes disconnected if you delete them. Complete graphs are not included in this version of the definition since they cannot be disconnected by deleting vertices. The complete graph with ''n'' vertices has connectivity ''n'' − 1, as implied by the first definition. An equivalent definition is that a graph with at least two vertices is ''k''-connected if, for every pair of its vertices, it is possible to find ''k'' vertex-independent paths connecting these vertices; see Menger's theorem . This definition produces the same ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hamiltonian Path
In the mathematical field of graph theory, a Hamiltonian path (or traceable path) is a path in an undirected or directed graph that visits each vertex exactly once. A Hamiltonian cycle (or Hamiltonian circuit) is a cycle that visits each vertex exactly once. A Hamiltonian path that starts and ends at adjacent vertices can be completed by adding one more edge to form a Hamiltonian cycle, and removing any edge from a Hamiltonian cycle produces a Hamiltonian path. Determining whether such paths and cycles exist in graphs (the Hamiltonian path problem and Hamiltonian cycle problem) are NP-complete. Hamiltonian paths and cycles are named after William Rowan Hamilton who invented the icosian game, now also known as ''Hamilton's puzzle'', which involves finding a Hamiltonian cycle in the edge graph of the dodecahedron. Hamilton solved this problem using the icosian calculus, an algebraic structure based on roots of unity with many similarities to the quaternions (also invented by Hami ...

Girth (graph Theory)
In graph theory, the girth of an undirected graph is the length of a shortest cycle contained in the graph. If the graph does not contain any cycles (that is, it is a forest), its girth is defined to be infinity. For example, a 4-cycle (square) has girth 4. A grid has girth 4 as well, and a triangular mesh has girth 3. A graph with girth four or more is triangle-free. Cages A cubic graph (all vertices have degree three) of girth that is as small as possible is known as a -cage (or as a -cage). The Petersen graph is the unique 5-cage (it is the smallest cubic graph of girth 5), the Heawood graph is the unique 6-cage, the McGee graph is the unique 7-cage and the Tutte eight cage is the unique 8-cage. There may exist multiple cages for a given girth. For instance there are three nonisomorphic 10-cages, each with 70 vertices: the Balaban 10-cage, the Harries graph and the Harries–Wong graph.

Distance (graph Theory)
In the mathematical field of graph theory, the distance between two vertices in a graph is the number of edges in a shortest path (also called a graph geodesic) connecting them. This is also known as the geodesic distance or shortest-path distance. Notice that there may be more than one shortest path between two vertices. If there is no path connecting the two vertices, i.e., if they belong to different connected components, then conventionally the distance is defined as infinite. In the case of a directed graph the distance between two vertices and is defined as the length of a shortest directed path from to consisting of arcs, provided at least one such path exists. Notice that, in contrast with the case of undirected graphs, does not necessarily coincide with —so it is just a quasi-metric, and it might be the case that one is defined while the other is not.
