Comments

The triangle is inspired by Samuel J. Bevins's A360571.

The friendship graph is constructed by joining n copies of the cycle graph C_3 at a common vertex. F_1 is isomorphic to C_3 (the triangle graph) and has 3 vertices, F_2 is the butterfly graph and has 5 vertices and if n > 2 then F_n has 2*n + 1 vertices.
