Halin graph

Halin graph

In graph theory, a mathematical discipline, a Halin graph is a planar graph constructed from a plane embedding of a tree with at least 4 vertices and with no vertices of degree 2, by connecting all end vertices (i.e., the ones of degree 1) with a cycle in the natural cyclic order defined by the embedding of the tree."Encyclopaedia of Mathematics", first Supplementary volume, 1988, ISBN 0792347099, p. 281, article [http://books.google.com/books?id=3ndQH4mTzWQC&pg=PA281&dq=%22halin+graph%22+-wikipedia&ei=RgLsSKP2A5DetAPHydj2Bg&sig=ACfU3U3IK1TmaSTLW3yoIHaMUJvE3rKFIQ "Halin Graph"] , and references therein]

Properties

*It is an edge-minimal planar 3-connected graph.
*It has a unique planar embedding (up to the choice of the outer space; i.e., a unique embedding onto a 2-sphere).
*It is a Hamiltonian graph, moreover, it remains Hamiltonian after deletion of any vertex.
