Tietze Graph
TietzesGraphEmbeddings
The Tietze graph is the cubic graph on 12 nodes and 18 edges, illustrated above in a number of embeddings.
It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as GraphData ["TietzeGraph"].
The Tietze graph is the unique almost Hamiltonian cubic graph on 12 vertices (Punnim et al. 2007). In fact, it is also maximally nonhamiltonian (Clark and Entringer 1983) and a platypus graph.
TietzeMoebiusColoring
The Tietze graph provides a 6-color coloring of the Möbius strip as illustrated above (Bondy and Murty 1976, p. 243).
TietzeGraphMatrices
The plots above show the adjacency, incidence, and graph distance matrices for the Tietze graph.
