The -Andrásfai
graph is a circulant graph on
nodes whose indices are given by the integers 1, ...,
that are congruent to 1 (mod 3).
The Andrásfai graphs have graph diameter
2 for
,
and the
-Andrásfai
graph has
proper 3-colorings for
,
with three labeled colors. Up to a permutation of
colors, all these colorings are equivalent under its automorphism
group (Godsil and Royle 2001, pp. 119-120).
The following table summarizes the first few Andrásfai graphs.
