mycielski_graph(n)[source]¶ Generator for the n_th Mycielski Graph.
The Mycielski family of graphs is an infinite set of graphs. \(M_1\) is the singleton graph, \(M_2\) is two vertices with an edge, and, for \(i > 2\), \(M_i\) is the Mycielskian of \(M_{i-1}\).

- Parameters
n (int) – The desired Mycielski Graph.
- Returns
M – The n_th Mycielski Graph
- Return type
graph
Notes
The first graph in the Mycielski sequence is the singleton graph. The Mycielskian of this graph is not the \(P_2\) graph, but rather the \(P_2\) graph with an extra, isolated vertex. The second Mycielski graph is the \(P_2\) graph, so the first two are hard coded. The remaining graphs are generated using the Mycielski operation.
