Exam 4 Flashcards
A vertex with no edges
Isolated Vertex
More than one edge connecting two vertices
Parallel Edges
The number of times that a vertex is an endpoint
Degree of a vertex
A graph with no loops or parallel edges
Simple Graph
A graph that can be partitioned into 2 sets for which every edge connects vertices in different sets
Bipartite Graph
The complete bipartite graph on m,n
Kmn
A maximal connected subgraph
Connected Component
A finite alternating sequence of adjacent vertices and edges
Walk
A walk that does not contain a repeated edge
Path
A path that does not contain a repeated vertex
Simple Path
A walk that begins and ends on the same vertex
Closed Walk
A closed walk that does not contain a repeated edge
Circuit
Graphs with a 1-1 function such that vertices x and y are joined by an edge and so are f(x) and f(y)
Isomorphic
1-1 function between two graphs
Isomorphism
A property of a graph that doesn’t change under isomorphism
Invariant
A circuit that does not have any other repeated vertex except the first and last
Simple Circuit
Circuit which contains every vertex and every edge
Euler Circuit
If a graph has an Euler circuit then every vertex has an _____ degree
Even (degree of every vertex in _______)
If every vertex is even and the graph is connected, then the graph has _____________
An Euler Circuit (what does this say about connectedness and degrees?)
A sequence of adjacent edges and vertices that starts at v, ends at w, and passes through every vertex and along every edge exactly once
Euler Path
Connected graph that has no non-trivial circuits
Tree
for a tree, the number of edges = __________
The # of vertices in the tree -1
A ________ is contained in a tree
Circuitless Graph (is contained in what?)
