The truncated octahedron is the 14-faced Archimedean solid with faces 8{6}+6{4}. It is also the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 8 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 7 ...

Archimedes' spiral is an Archimedean spiral with polar equation r=atheta. (1) This spiral was studied by Conon, and later by Archimedes in On Spirals about 225 BC. Archimedes ...

Fermat's spiral, also known as the parabolic spiral, is an Archimedean spiral with m=2 having polar equation r^2=a^2theta. (1) This curve was discussed by Fermat in 1636 ...

An Archimedean spiral with polar equation r=a/theta. (1) The hyperbolic spiral, also called the inverse spiral (Whittaker 1944, p. 83), originated with Pierre Varignon in ...

Let G(V,E) be a graph with graph vertices V and graph edges E on n graph vertices without a (k+1)-clique. Then t(n,k)<=((k-1)n^2)/(2k), where t(n,k) is the edge count. (Note ...

Tutte's wheel theorem states that every polyhedral graph can be derived from a wheel graph via repeated graph contraction and edge splitting. For example, the figure above ...

The intersection number omega(G) of a given graph G is the minimum number of elements in a set S such that G is an intersection graph on S.

A 3-coloring of graph edges so that no two edges of the same color meet at a graph vertex (Ball and Coxeter 1987, pp. 265-266).

The Miquel configuration is the 6_4 configuration illustrated above. Its Levi graph is the rhombic dodecahedral graph.

A graph H is called a topological minor, also known as a homeomorphic subgraph, of a graph G if a graph subdivision of H is isomorphic to a subgraph of G. Every topological ...
