A complete graph is a graph in which each pair of graph vertices is connected by an edge. The complete graph with 
graph vertices is denoted 
and has 
(the triangular numbers) undirected edges, where 
is a binomial coefficient. In older literature, complete graphs are sometimes called universal graphs.
The complete graph on 
nodes is implemented in the Wolfram Language as CompleteGraph[n]. Precomputed properties are available using GraphData[
"Complete", n
]. A graph may be tested to see if it is complete in the Wolfram Language using the function CompleteGraphQ[g].
The complete graph on 0 nodes is a trivial graph known as the null graph, while the complete graph on 1 node is a trivial graph known as the singleton graph.
In the 1890s, Walecki showed that complete graphs 
admit a Hamilton decomposition for odd 
, and decompositions into Hamiltonian cycles plus a perfect matching for even 
(Lucas 1892, Bryant 2007, Alspach 2008). Alspach et al. (1990) give a construction for Hamilton decompositions of all 
.
The graph complement of the complete graph 
is the empty graph on 
nodes.
