Let
be a set of positive numbers, then the
-Euclidean distance graph (or Euclidean distance-
graph)
on a nonempty subset
of Euclidean space is the graph
with vertex set
and edge set
, where
is the Euclidean distance between vertices
and
.
Maehara (1992) additionally require the set to contain the distance 1.
Examples include the Grabarchuk graph, which is the Euclidean distance-3 graph on the vertex set
of the grid graph, and the
fiveleaper graph,
which is the Euclidean distance-5 graph on the vertex set
of the
grid graph. Other examples include
-leaper graph when
is not an integer, as summarized in the following table. Note that because the antelope graph is a
-leaper graph with
,
it is not a Euclidean distance graph.

Euclidean distance graphs differ from graph distance graphs in that former are constructed based on Euclidean distance between vertices, while the latter are constructed based on graph distance.
