Cube graph
This article defines a particular undirected graph, i.e., the definition here determines the graph uniquely up to graph isomorphism.

Definition
The term cube graph, sometimes cube or graph of a cube, refers to the cube in three-dimensional space viewed as a graph: the vertices are the vertices of the cube, and the edges are the edges of the cube.

Function | Value | Explanation |
---|---|---|
size of vertex set | 8 | |
size of edge set | 12 |
Numerical invariants associated with vertices
Since the graph is a vertex-transitive graph, any numerical invariant associated to a vertex must be equal on all vertices of the graph. Below are listed some of these invariants:
Function | Value | Explanation |
---|---|---|
degree of a vertex | 3 | |
eccentricity of a vertex | 3 |
Other numerical invariants
Function | Value | Explanation |
---|---|---|
clique number | 2 | |
independence number | 4 | |
chromatic number | 2 | |
radius of a graph | 3 | Due to vertex-transitivity, the radius equals the eccentricity of any vertex, which has been computed above. |
diameter of a graph | 3 | Due to vertex-transitivity, the radius equals the eccentricity of any vertex, which has been computed above. |
odd girth | infinite | |
even girth | 4 | |
girth of a graph | 4 |
