We Found the Smallest Non-Autograph
Abstract
Suppose that is a simple, vertex-labeled graph and that is a multiset. Then if there exists a one-to-one mapping between the elements of and the vertices of , such that edges in exist if and only if the absolute difference of the corresponding vertex labels exist in , then is an \emph{autograph}, and is a \emph{signature} for . While it is known that many common families are graphs are autographs, and that infinitely many graphs are not autographs, a non-autograph has never been exhibited. In this paper, we identify the smallest non-autograph: a graph with 6 vertices and 11 edges. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the infinite family of graphs on vertices consisting of the complement of two non-intersecting cycles contains only non-autographs for .
