A two-regular graph is a regular graph for which all vertex degrees are 2. A two-regular graph consists of one or more connected components, each a cycle graph.
The numbers
of two-regular graphs on
, 2, ... nodes are 0, 0,
1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... (OEIS A008483),
which are equivalent to the numbers of partitions of
into parts
. The first few such graphs
are illustrated above.
