Graph
Graph is a triple (V, E and g) where V is a finite nonempty set called the vertices. E is a finite set called the set of edges and g is a function called an incedence functions that assign to each edges e element of E, a one element subset {x} or a two element{v, w} where V and w are vertices.
simple graph,
there is at most one edge between any two vertices, and there are no self-loops or multiple edges.
complete graph
is a simple graph in which every pair of distinct vertices is connected by an edge.
bipartite graph
is a graph whose vertices can be divided into two disjoint sets such that there are no edges between vertices within the same set.
directed graph
, also known as a digraph, is a graph in which each edge has a direction associated with it.
regular graph
is a graph in which each vertex has the same number of edges.
walk
is a sequence of vertices and edges in a graph, where each edge connects two consecutive vertices in the sequence. The walk can traverse the same edge or vertex multiple times.
directed walk
is a walk in a directed graph, where each edge has a specific direction associated with it.
closed walk
is a walk that starts and ends at the same vertex.
closed directed walk
is a closed walk in a directed graph, where the walk starts and ends at the same vertex and follows the direction of the edges.
open walk
is a walk that starts and ends at different vertices. It can traverse the same edge or vertex multiple times but does not need to return to the starting vertex.
open directed walk
is an open walk in a directed graph, where the walk starts and ends at different vertices and follows the direction of the edges.
Trail:
is a walk in which no edge is repeated. It visits each vertex at most once but may revisit vertices.
Path:
is a trail in which no vertex is repeated. It visits each vertex exactly once, except for the starting and ending vertices.
Circuit:
is a closed trail in which no edge is repeated, except for the starting and ending vertex, which are the same.
