In geometric graph theory,a penny graph is a contact graph of unit circles. It is formed from a collection of unit circles that do not cross each other,by creating a vertex for each circle and an edge for every pair of tangent circles. The circles can be represented physically by pennies,arranged without overlapping on a flat surface,with a vertex for each penny and an edge for each two pennies that touch.
