Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Named Cage Graphs

Examples

Calling Sequence

CageGraph(K, G)

Parameters

K

-

degree of graph

G

-

girth of graph

Description

• 

The CageGraph(K,G) command creates the (K,G)-cage graph, that is, the smallest K-regular graph(s) with girth G.

• 

If more than one graph meets these criteria, a sequence of graphs is returned.

• 

In the cases where the smallest graph is not known, FAIL is returned.

Named Cage Graphs

• 

Several notable cage graphs have been assigned names and can be individually accessed under these names within the SpecialGraphs subpackage. These include:

• 

(3,5)-cage: PetersenGraph

• 

(3,6)-cage: HeawoodGraph

• 

(3,8)-cage: Tutte8CageGraph

• 

(3,10)-cages: Balaban10CageGraph, HarriesGraph, and HarriesWongGraph

• 

(3,12)-cage: GeneralizedHexagonGraph

• 

(4,5)-cage: RobertsonGraph

• 

(5,5)-cages: FosterCageGraph, MeringerGraph, RobertsonWegnerGraph, and WongGraph

• 

(7,5)-cage: HoffmanSingletonGraph
