It has n 2 + 2n + 1 vertices: n 2 formed from the product of a leaf in both factors, 2n from the product of a leaf in one factor and the hub in the other factor, and one remaining vertex formed from the product of the two hubs. Each leaf-hub product vertex in G dominates exactly n of the leaf-leaf vertices, so n leaf-hub vertices are needed to ...
Switching {X,Y} in a graph. A two-graph is equivalent to a switching class of graphs and also to a (signed) switching class of signed complete graphs.. Switching a set of vertices in a (simple) graph means reversing the adjacencies of each pair of vertices, one in the set and the other not in the set: thus the edge set is changed so that an adjacent pair becomes nonadjacent and a nonadjacent ...
Clique-sums are important in graph structure theory, where they are used to characterize certain families of graphs as the graphs formed by clique-sums of simpler graphs. The first result of this type [2] was a theorem of Wagner (1937), who proved that the graphs that do not have a five-vertex complete graph as a minor are the 3-clique-sums of ...
For a plane graph G, twice the evaluation of the Tutte polynomial at the point (3,3) equals the sum over weighted Eulerian orientations in the medial graph of G, where the weight of an orientation is 2 to the number of saddle vertices of the orientation (that is, the number of vertices with incident edges cyclically ordered "in, out, in out").

The reconstruction conjecture of Stanisław Ulam is one of the best-known open problems in graph theory.Using the terminology of Frank Harary [1] it can be stated as follows: If G and H are two graphs on at least three vertices and ƒ is a bijection from V(G) to V(H) such that G\{v} and H\{ƒ(v)} are isomorphic for all vertices v in V(G), then G and H are isomorphic.

More generally, if G has clique number ω(G), then μ(G) has clique number of the maximum among 2 and ω(G). (Mycielski 1955) If G is a factor-critical graph, then so is μ(G) (Došlić 2005). In particular, every graph M i for i ≥ 2 is factor-critical. If G has a Hamiltonian cycle, then so does μ(G) (Fisher, McKenna & Boyer 1998).
