The cubical graph is the skeleton of the cube. It is distance-transitive cubic graph.

The cubical graph can be embedded on the sphere as the cube. It can also be embedded on a torus as the regular skew polyhedron the Petrial cube.

Related graphs[edit | edit source]

The cubical graph is a graph in the infinite family of hypercube graphs. In that family it is Q 3 . The cubical graph is also the generalized Petersen graph GP (4, 1). It is one of seven symmetric generalized Petersen graphs.

Duals[edit | edit source]

With respects to its spherical embedding, the dual graph of the cubical graph is the octahedral graph, K 2,2,2 . With respects to its toroidal embedding its dual is a double cover of K 4 .
