A graph
G is
inexhaustible if whenever a vertex of
G is deleted the remaining graph is
isomorphic to
G. We address a
question of Cameron [6], who asked which countable graphs are
inexhaustible. In particular, we prove that there are continuum
many countable inexhaustible graphs with properties in common
with the infinite random graph, including adjacency properties
and universality. Locally finite inexhaustible graphs and
forests are investigated, as is a semigroup structure on the
class of inexhaustible graphs. We extend a result of [7] on
homogeneous inexhaustible graphs to pseudo-homogeneous
inexhaustible graphs.
