Description

• 

IsArchimedeanGraph(G) returns true if G is an Archimedean graph and false otherwise.

• 

IsPlatonicGraph(G) returns true if G is an Platonic graph and false otherwise.

Definitions

• 

A Platonic graph is a graph that forms the graph skeleton of one of the Platonic solids. There are 5 Platonic graphs, and all of them are regular, polyhedral, planar, and Hamiltonian.

• 

An Archimedean graph is a graph that forms the graph skeleton of one of the Archimedean solids. There are 13 Archimedean graphs, and all of them are regular, polyhedral, planar, and Hamiltonian.
