The triangular grid graph is the lattice graph obtained
by interpreting the order-
triangular grid as
a graph, with the intersection of grid lines being the vertices and the line segments
between vertices being the edges. Equivalently, it is the graph on vertices
with
being nonnegative integers summing to
such that vertices are adjacent if the sum of absolute differences
of the coordinates of two vertices is 2 (West 2000, p. 391).
Note that the alternate convention of calling the triangular lattice graph with (instead of
) points along each of the three boundary lines the "
-triangular grid graph" is also commonly
encountered. For example, the graph called the triangular grid graph
by Wagon (2014) is
in the notation and indexing of West (2000, pp. 390-391).
The graph bandwidth of is

is also the triangular honeycomb king
graph of order
, i.e., the connectivity graph of possible moves of a king
chess piece on a hexagonal chessboard.
