Möbius Ladder
A Möbius ladder, sometimes called a Möbius wheel (Jakobson and Rivin 1999), of order 
is a simple graph obtained by introducing a twist in a prism graph of order 
that is isomorphic to the circulant graph 
. Möbius ladders are sometimes denoted 
.
The 4-Möbius ladder is known as the Wagner graph. The 
-Möbius ladder rung graph is isomorphic to the Haar graph 
.
Möbius ladders are Hamiltonian, graceful (Gallian 1987, Gallian 2018), and by construction, singlecross. The Möbius ladders are also nontrivial biplanar graphs.
The numbers of directed Hamiltonian cycles for 
, 4, ... are 12, 10, 16, 14, 20, 18, 24, ... (OEIS A124356), given by the closed form
![|HC(n)|=2[(n+2)-(-1)^n].](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/MoebiusLadder/NumberedEquation1.svg) |

The 
-Möbius ladder graph has independence polynomial
![I_n(x)=2^(-n)[-2^n(-x)^n+(x-sqrt(x(x+6)+1)+1)^n+(x+sqrt(x(x+6)+1)+1)^n].](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/MoebiusLadder/NumberedEquation2.svg) |

Recurrence equations for the independence polynomial and matching polynomial are given by
The bipartite double graph of the 
-Möbius ladder is the prism graph
