Lindgren-Sousselier Graph


LindgrenSousselierGraphs

The Lindgren-Sousselier graphs are a sequence of hypohamiltonian graphs with 6k+10 vertices independently discovered by Sousselier (in Herz et al. 1967) and Lindgren (1967) for k=0, 1, ..., the first few of which are illustrated above. The graph with k=0 is the Petersen graph.

A number of different embeddings of the Lindgren-Sousselier graph on 28 vertices are illustrated above.

The Lindgren-Sousselier graph indexed by k has graph crossing number and rectilinear crossing number k+2 and local crossing number 1. The Lindgren-Sousselier graphs are therefore nonplanar 1-planar graphs.
