Wheel Graph

Combinatorics and Graph Theory

A wheel graph is formed by connecting a single universal vertex, or hub, to every vertex of a cycle; equivalently, a wheel graph on n vertices can be defined as the 1-skeleton of an (n minus 1)-sided pyramid. Different authors use slightly different conventions for how many vertices the notation Wn refers to, either the wheel's total vertex count or the length of its underlying cycle.

Is Kind Of Object

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
