Other Properties
The Petersen graph:
- is 3-connected and hence 3-edge-connected and bridgeless. See the glossary.
- has independence number 4 and is 3-partite. See the glossary.
- is cubic, has domination number 3, and has a perfect matching and a 2-factor.
- is the smallest cubic graph of girth 5. (It is the unique -cage. In fact, since it has only 10 vertices, it is the unique -Moore graph.)
- has radius 2 and diameter 2. It is the largest cubic graph with diameter 2.
- has graph spectrum −2, −2, −2, −2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3.
- has 2000 spanning trees, the most of any 10-vertex cubic graph.
- has chromatic polynomial
- has characteristic polynomial, making it an integral graph—a graph whose spectrum consists entirely of integers.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
