Graph Theoey Flashcards
Basic definitions (67 cards)
Simple graph
A finite, non-empty set V(G) of elements called vertices, together with a possibly empty set E(G) of 2-element subsets of V(G), called edges where uv denotes the egde between a vertex u eV(G) and vertex v eV(G)
Order
Number of vertices, p
Size
Number of edges, q
Density
Relationship between number of edges and number of possible edges
q(G) /(p(G)c2)
Multigraph
More than 1 edge between vertices
Pseudograph
Contains a loop
Open neighbourhood
All vertices surrounding a vertex Ng(v)
Closed Neighbourhood
All vertices surrounding the vertex and the vertex itself Ng[V]
Incident
Edge and vertex are touching
Degree
DegG(Vi) number of vertices adjacent to vertex i
Isolated vertex
Degree 0
End vertex
Degree 1
Even vertex
Even degree, include isolated vertices
Minimum degree
Lowest degree of a vertex small delta
Maximum degree
Maximum degree of a vertex big delta
Fundamental thm of graph theory (thm 2.1)
S(from 1 to p) deg(vi) =2q
Corollary of 2.1
Every graph has an even number of odd vertices
Subgraph
V(H) is a subset of V(G) and E(H) is a sunset of E(G)
Propper subgraph
Can’t be exactly the same
Spanning subgraph
Vertices exactly the same, but not all edges
are there
Edge induced subgraph
G non empty subset T is a subset of E(G) and vertex set V()
(no isolated vertices)
Walk
Finite alternating sequence of vertices and edges from v1 to vn
Path
A walk with no repeated vertices (therefore no repeated edges)
Distance
dG1(vi, vj) shortest path between the two vertices
