TietzesGraph

Tietze's graph is the cubic graph on 12 nodes and 18 edges illustrated above in a number of embeddings.

It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as GraphData["TietzeGraph"].

Tietze's graph is the unique almost Hamiltonian cubic graph on 12 vertices (Punnim et al. 2007). In fact, it is also maximally nonhamiltonian (Clark and Entringer 1983).

TietzeMoebiusColoring

Tietze's graph provides a 6-color coloring of the Möbius strip as illustrated above.
