Honeycomb Toroidal Graph


HoneycombToroidalGraph

The honeycomb toroidal graph HTG(m,2n,s) on 2nm vertices for m, n, and s positive integers satisfying n>1 and m+s is even is defined as the graph on vertex set u_(ij) for 0<=i<=m-1 and 0<=j<=2n-1. Edges are then defined as follows, where i and j adjacency are taken modulo m and 2n, respectively.

1. For each i from 0 to m-1, u_(ij) is adjacent to u_(i,j-1) and u_(i,j+1).

2. For each even i from 0 to m-2, there is an edge from u_(ij) to u_(i+1,j) for all odd j.

3. For each odd i from 1 to m-2, there is an edge from u_(ij) to u_(i+1,j) for all even j.

4. If m-1 is even, there is an edge from u_(m-1,j) to u_(0,j+s) for all odd j.

5. If m-1 is odd, there is an edge from u_(m-1,j) to u_(0,j+s) for all even j.

Honeycomb toroidal graphs are cubic, except some cases with m=1 which give cycle graphs C_(2n). They are also vertex-transitive, and a Cayley graphs (Alspach and Dean 2009).

Honeycomb toroidal graphs have also been called generalized honeycomb tori and brick products (Alspach and Dean 2009).

The following table summarizes some special cases.
