An H-graph H(n:i,j;k,m) has 6n vertices arranged in six segments of n vertices. Let the vertices be v_{x,y} for x=0,1,2,3,4,5 and y in the integers modulo n. The edges are v_{0,y}v_{1,y}, v_{0,y}v_{2,y}, v_{0,y}v_{3,y}, v_{1,y}v_{4,y}, v_{1,y}v_{5,y} (inner edges) and v_{2,y}v_{2,y+i}, v_{3,y}v_{3,y+j}, v_{4,y}v_{3,y+k}, v_{5,y}v_{5,y+m} (outer edges) where y=0,1,...,n-1 and subscript addition is performed modulo n. H-graph H(n:i,j;k,m) is connected if and only if gcd(n,i,j,k,m) = 1.
