Definition

The Desargues graph is a particular graph on 20 vertices defined in the following equivalent ways:

It is the Levi graph of the Desargues configuration
It is the bipartite Kneser graph with parameters 5,2
It is the generalized Petersen graph $G (10, 3)$ .

Arithmetic functions

Size measures

Function	Value	Explanation
size of vertex set	20	As Levi graph of Desargues configuration: number of points + number of lines in the configuration = $10 + 10 = 20$ As bipartite Kneser graph with parameters $n = 5, k = 2$ : $2 (\binom{n}{k}) = 2 (\binom{5}{2}) = 2 (10) = 20$ As generalized Petersen graph $G (n, k), n = 10, k = 3$ : $2 (10) = 20$
size of edge set	30	As Levi graph of Desargues configuration: number of incidences between points and lines = (number of lines) * (number of points on each line) = $(10) (3) = 30$ As bipartite Kneser graph with parameters $n = 5, k = 2$ : $(\binom{n}{k, k, n - 2 k}) = \frac{n!}{k! k! (n - 2 k)!} = (\binom{5}{2, 2, 1}) = 30$ As generalized Petersen graph $G (n, k), n = 10, k = 3$ : $3 n = 3 (10) = 30$
