KC Graph


The graph Cartesian product K_n square C_r of a complete graph K_n and a cycle graph C_r has been termed a "KC graph" by Knuth (2024, p. 22), who restricts their parameters to r>2 and n>2. The KC graphs are regular with degree n+1 and have vertex count and edge count

|V(K_n square C_r)|=rn
(1)
|E(K_n square C_r)|=1/2rn(n+1).
(2)

Special cases are summarized in the table below.

K_3 square C_r is ungraceful for r odd (Knuth 2024, p. 22).
