Characteristics of Finite Jaco Graphs, $J_n(1), n \in \Bbb N$
Abstract: We introduce the concept of a family of finite directed graphs (order 1) which are directed graphs derived from an infinite directed graph (order 1), called the 1-root digraph. The 1-root digraph has four fundamental properties which are; $V(J_\infty(1)) = {v_i|i \in \Bbb N}$ and, if $v_j$ is the head of an edge (arc) then the tail is always a vertex $v_i, i<j$ and, if $v_k$, for smallest $k \in \Bbb N$ is a tail vertex then all vertices $v_\ell, k< \ell <j$ are tails of arcs to $v_j$ and finally, the degree of vertex $k$ is $d(v_k) = k.$ The family of finite directed graphs are those limited to $n \in \Bbb N$ vertices by lobbing off all vertices (and edges arcing to vertices) $v_t, t> n.$ Hence, trivially we have $d(v_i) \leq i$ for $i \in \Bbb N$. We present an interesting Fibonaccian-Zeckendorf result and present the Fisher Algorithm to table particular values of interest. It is meant to be an introductory paper to encourage exploratory research.
