one of two different regular graphs with 16 vertices

Described at

Later some confusion has arisen, and some authors use the name "Clebsch graph" for the complement of Γ. The Clebsch graph is the halved 5-cube, that is, the vertices are the binary vectors of length 5 and even weight, joined when the Hamming distance is 2. The Clebsch graph is the graph obtained from K1+T(6) by switching w.r.t. the set of 10 pairs not containing a fixed symbol (see also 2-graphs ). Equivalently, the complement of the Clebsch graph is the graph obtained from the 4-cube by joining antipodes by an edge. The complement of the Clebsch graph is the graph on GF(16) where two points are adjacent when their difference is a cube. It follows that K16 is the edge-disjoint union of three copies of the complement of the Clebsch graph. The Clebsch graph is the local graph of the Schläfli graph . The Clebsch graph has independence number 2 and chromatic number 8. The complement of the Clebsch graph has independence number 5 and chromatic number 4. A.
