Windmill Graph


WindmillGraph

The (m,n)-windmill graph is the graph obtained by taking m copies of the complete graph K_n with a vertex in common (Gallian 2011, p. 16). The (m,n)-windmill graph is therefore isomorphic to the graph join mK_(n-1)+K_1.

The (2,n)-windmill graph is isomorphic to the graph contraction K_n·K_n and the (m,3)-windmill graph is isomorphic to the (m,3)-Dutch windmill graph.

Special cases are summarized in the following table.

Windmill graphs are geodetic.

Precomputed properties of windmill graphs are implemented in the Wolfram Language as GraphData[{"Windmill", {m, n}}].
