Abstract of Tadpole Graph
We are diving into the exploration of the characteristics and properties of finite graphs,
more specifically the tadpole graph. We created a 4-cycle graph with a path of length n adjacent
to a vertex on the 4-cycle graph. The purpose of this project is to assess our own class of graphs
in order to determine any interesting characteristics. We will give the order, size, degree,
diameter, and other characteristics of the Tadpole Graph. We will experiment with different
values for n to formulate generalizations of the Tadpole Graph. We hope to create an infinite
graph class that consists of a combination of other classes of infinite graphs. Infinite graphs can
be used to make connection to other types of graphs which are already fully understood.
