Title: Working Toward the Hub Graph

Abstract: We will introduce the graph theory concepts of zero forcing and the iteration index, and then see how

they apply to various low-level classes of graphs. We will use these classes to construct more complex,

or mid-level, graphs, and examine how those ideas and their proofs translate. All of this is in pursuit of

determining the iteration index of and understanding the process of zero forcing acting on a speci_c graph

known as the Hub graph.
