A graph is said to be locally , where is a graph (or class of graphs), when for every vertex , the graph induced on by the set of adjacent vertices of (i.e. the vertex-induced subgraph ; sometimes called the ego graph in more recent literature) is isomorphic to (or to a member of) . Note that the term "neighbors" is sometimes used instead of "adjacent vertices" here (e.g., Brouwer et al. 1989), so care is needed since the definition of local graphs excludes the vertex on which a subgraph is induced, while the definitions of graph neighborhood and neighborhood graph include itself.
For example, the only locally pentagonal (cycle graph ) graph is the icosahedral graph (Brouwer et al. 1989, p. 5).
The following table summarizes some named graphs that have named local graphs.
