Jahangir Graph


The Jahangir graph J_(n,m) is a kind of generalized wheel graph with consisting of mn circular vertices and a central vertex connected to every mth vertex around the circle.

JahangirGraph

This class of graphs is named after the figure illustrated above corresponding to J_(2,8) which appears on the tomb of Nur-ud-din Muhammad Salim, known by his imperial name, Jahangir. Jahangir was the fourth Mughal Emperor who ruled from 1605-1627. His tomb is located 5 kilometer northwest of Lahore, Pakistan along the banks of the River Ravi (Mojdeh and Ghameshlou 2007).

Jahangir graphs J_(n,m) are unit-distance and matchstick graphs for n=1,m=6 (the wheel graph W_7) and all n>1.

Special cases are summarized in the following table.

Jahangir graphs are implemented in the Wolfram Language as GraphData[{"Jahangir", {n, m}}].
