Graph

$G = (V, E)$

$V = \{v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4, v_5, v_6, v_7, v_8, v_9, v_{10}, v_{11}\}$

$E = \{(v_1, v_2), (v_2, v_3), (v_2, v_6), (v_3, v_7) \cdots\}$

Graph

$|V| = 11$

$|E| = 11$

Directed and undirected graph

Walk

A $x-y$ walk is a finite sequence $$ (x, x_1), (x_1, x_2), \cdots, (x_n, y) $$

  • closed walk: $x = y$, otherwise open walk

Trail

$x-y$ trail is a walk with no repeated edge.

Path

$x-y$ path is a walk with no repeated vertex.

Cycle

$x-x$ path is a cycle.

Circuit

$x-x$ trail is a circuit.

Degree

Degree of a vertex is the number of edges connected to the vertex.

$deg(v_1) = 5$

Regular graph

A graph in which each vertex has the same degree.

Complete graph

A graph in which each pair of vertcies is connected by a edge.

Simple graph

A graph without self-loop or multiple edge.

Multigraph

A graph with multiple edges.

Pseudograph

A non-simple graph in which both self loops and multiple edges are permitted.

Hypergraph

Allow an edge connected to multiple vertcies.

$$E = \{(v_1, v_2, v_3), (v_2, v_3), (v_3, v_5, v_6), (v_4)\}$$
