The order of the largest clique of the graph. A clique in a graph $G$ is a subset $U \subseteq V(G)$ such that any pair of vertices in $U$ are adjacent. I.e. the subgraph induced by $U$ is a complete graph.

The chromatic number of a graph. The minimal number of colors needed to color the vertices of the graph such that no two vertices which share an edge have the same color.

The Grundy number of a graph. The Grundy number $\Gamma(G)$ is defined to be the largest $k$ such that $G$ admits a greedy $k$-coloring. Any order of the vertices of $G$ induces a greedy coloring by assigning to the $i$-th vertex in this order the smallest positive integer such that the partial coloring remains a proper coloring. In particular, we have that $\chi(G) \leq \Gamma(G) \leq \Delta(G) + 1$, where $\chi(G)$ is the chromatic number of $G$ ([[St000098]]), and where $\Delta(G)$ is the maximal degree of a vertex of $G$ ([[St000171]]).

The number of minimal vertex covers of a graph. A '''vertex cover''' of a graph $G$ is a subset $S$ of the vertices of $G$ such that each edge of $G$ contains at least one vertex of $S$. A vertex cover is minimal if it contains the least possible number of vertices. This is also the leading coefficient of the clique polynomial of the complement of $G$. This is also the number of independent sets of maximal cardinality of $G$.

The distinguishing number of a graph. This is the minimal number of colours needed to colour the vertices of a graph, such that only the trivial automorphism of the graph preserves the colouring. For connected graphs, this statistic is at most one plus the maximal degree of the graph, with equality attained for complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and the cycle with five vertices, see Theorem 4.2 of [2].

The hull number of a graph. The convex hull of a set of vertices $S$ of a graph is the smallest set $h(S)$ such that for any pair $u,v\in h(S)$ all vertices on a shortest path from $u$ to $v$ are also in $h(S)$. The hull number is the size of the smallest set $S$ such that $h(S)$ is the set of all vertices.

The number of different neighbourhoods in a graph.

The clique-coclique number of a graph. This is the product of the size of a maximal clique [[St000097]] and the size of a maximal independent set [[St000093]].

The size of the core of a graph. The core of the graph $G$ is the smallest graph $C$ such that there is a graph homomorphism from $G$ to $C$ and a graph homomorphism from $C$ to $G$.

The 2-dynamic chromatic number of a graph. A $k$-dynamic coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper coloring of $G$ in such a way that each vertex $v$ sees at least $\min\{d(v), k\}$ colors in its neighborhood. The $k$-dynamic chromatic number of a graph is the smallest number of colors needed to find an $k$-dynamic coloring. This statistic records the $2$-dynamic chromatic number of a graph.
