Platonic graph

In the mathematical field of graph theory, a Platonic graph is a graph that has one of the Platonic solids as its skeleton. There are 5 Platonic graphs, and all of them are regular, polyhedral (and therefore by necessity also 3-vertex-connected, vertex-transitive, edge-transitive and planar graphs), and also Hamiltonian graphs. * Tetrahedral graph – 4 vertices, 6 edges * Octahedral graph – 6 vertices, 12 edges * Cubical graph – 8 vertices, 12 edges * Icosahedral graph – 12 vertices, 30 edges * Dodecahedral graph – 20 vertices, 30 edges (Wikipedia).

Platonic graphs and the Petersen graph

In this tutorial I show you to construct the five platonic graphs and the Peterson graph in Mathematica and we use some of the information in the previous lectures to look at some of the properties of these graphs, simply by looking at their graphical representation.

How to Construct a Dodecahedron

How the greeks constructed the Dodecahedron. Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 17. In geometry, a dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron with regular pentagons as faces, which is a Platonic solid. A regular dode

AlgTop9: Applications of Euler's formula and graphs

We use Euler's formula to show that there are at most 5 Platonic, or regular, solids. We discuss other types of polyhedra, including deltahedra (made of equilateral triangles) and Schafli's generalizations to higher dimensions. In particular in 4 dimensions there is the 120-cell, the 600-c

Planar graphs

Planar graphs, What are planar graphs? In this video we take a look at what a planar graph is and how Mathematica can check to see if a graph is planar. In short, a planar graph is one that can be drawn in the plane such that no edges cross. If you want to learn more about Mathematica,

AlgTop8: Polyhedra and Euler's formula

We investigate the five Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube, octohedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron. Euler's formula relates the number of vertices, edges and faces. We give a proof using a triangulation argument and the flow down a sphere. This is the eighth lecture in this beginner's

What is a Path Graph? | Graph Theory

What is a path graph? We have previously discussed paths as being ways of moving through graphs without repeating vertices or edges, but today we can also talk about paths as being graphs themselves, and that is the topic of today's math lesson! A path graph is a graph whose vertices can

What is a Graph? | Graph Theory

What is a graph? A graph theory graph, in particular, is the subject of discussion today. In graph theory, a graph is an ordered pair consisting of a vertex set, then an edge set. Graphs are often represented as diagrams, with dots representing vertices, and lines representing edges. Each

What is a connected graph in graph theory? That is the subject of today's math lesson! A connected graph is a graph in which every pair of vertices is connected, which means there exists a path in the graph with those vertices as endpoints. We can think of it this way: if, by traveling acr

Euler's relation between vertices, edges and faces of the Platonic solids 15 | Famous Math Problems

In this Famous Math Problem, we look at a question that the great Leonard Euler was the first to ask: what is the relation between the number of vertices, edges and faces of a Platonic solid? His resolution of this problem led to one of the most famous, and beautiful, formulas in mathemati
