Icosahedron - As A Graph

As A Graph

The skeleton of the icosahedron—the vertices and edges—form a graph. The high degree of symmetry of the polygon is replicated in the properties of this graph, which is distance-transitive, distance-regular, and symmetric. The automorphism group has order 120. The vertices can be colored with 4 colors, the edges with 5 colors, and the diameter is 3.

The icosahedral graph is Hamiltonian: there is a cycle containing all the vertices. It is also a planar graph.

Famous quotes containing the word graph:

    When producers want to know what the public wants, they graph it as curves. When they want to tell the public what to get, they say it in curves.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
