Gear Graph

The gear graph, also sometimes known as a bipartite wheel graph (Brandstädt et al. 1987), is a wheel graph with a graph vertex added between each pair of adjacent graph vertices of the outer cycle (Gallian 2018). The gear graph
has
nodes and
edges.
The gear graphs
are a special case
of the Jahangir graph.

Gear graphs are unit-distance and matchstick graphs, as illustrated in the embeddings shown above.

Attractive derived unit-distance graph are produced by taking the vertex sets from the matchstick embeddings and connecting all pairs of vertices separate by a unit distance for
, 6, 12, and 18, illustrated above, with the
case corresponding to the wheel graph
.
Ma and Feng (1984) proved that all gear graphs are graceful, and Liu (1996) showed that if two or more vertices are inserted between every pair of vertices of the outer cycle of the wheel, the resulting graph is also graceful (Gallian 2018).

The gear graph has chromatic polynomial, independence polynomial, matching polynomial, rank polynomial, and reliability polynomial given by
