Chapter 6 - Mathematics of Graphs Flashcards
The greatest mathematician that Switzerland has ever produced.
LEONHARD EULER
A branch of mathematics concerning with network of points connected by lines
MATHEMATICS OF GRAPH
It is ultimately the study of relationships
MATHEMATICS OF GRAPH
an object
Vertex
a relation between two objects
Edge
vertex set
V(G)
edge set
E(G)
The number of vertices in G is called?
Order
The number of edges in G is called?
Size
An edge whose endpoints are equal
Loop
Edges have the same pair of endpoints
Multiple edges
A graph has no loops or multiple edges
Simple graph
A graph whose vertex set and edge set are finite
Finite graph
The graph whose vertex set and edges are empty
Null graph
a set of pairwise adjacent vertices (a complete subgraph)
Clique
a set of pairwise nonadjacent vertices
Independent set
A graph G is “ “ if V(G) is the union of two disjoint independent sets called partite sets of G
bipartite
The chromatic number of a graph G, written as?
x(G)
the minimum number of colors needed to label the vertices so that adjacent vertices receive different colors
Chromatic number
is a partition of the plane into connected regions
map
a sequence of distinct vertices such that two consecutive vertices are adjacent
Path
a closed Path
Cycle
A subgraph of a graph G is a?
graph H
There exists at least one path between two vertices
Connected
