Graph Lexicographic Product


The graph lexicographic (or lexicographical) product is the graph product denoted G-H and defined by the adjacency relations (gadjg^') or (g=g^' and hadjh^'). The graph lexicographic product is also known as the graph composition (Harary 1994, p. 21).

For a positive integer t, the product G-K^__t with the empty graph K^__t is the uniform t-fold graph blow-up of G.

Graph lexicographic products can be computed in the Wolfram Language using GraphProduct[G1, G2, "Lexicographical"].

The "double graph" of a given graph G is the graph lexicographic product G-K_2.
