Abstract

A “cubic” graph is one with three edges incident on each vertex. Let v and e be the number of vertices and edges, respectively. Then 3v = 2e for a cubic graph. The girth of a graph is the smallest number of edges in any non-trivial polygon. A minimal graph is one with the smallest number of edges with its particular properties. The minimal cubic graphs of girths one to eight, excluding seven, are discussed in Tutte's paper [1]. A minimal cubic graph of girth seven is given here.
