graph theory Flashcards
Endvertices
the endpoints of an edge
Parallel Edges
Edges that have the same end vertices
Loop
edge that connects a vertex to itself
Simple graph
a graph without any parallel edges or loops
Empty graph
Graph with no edges
null graph
a graph with no vertices
trivial
graph with only one vertex
adjacent edges
if they share a common end vertex
adjacent vertices
if they are connnected by an edge
the degree of a vertex
the number of edges that have it as an end vertex. we count loop twice
Pendant vertex
a vertex with degree 1
pendant edge
an edge that has a pendant vertex as an end point
isolated vertex
a vertex with degree 0
Cycle Graph
Cn graph with n vertices that has a degree 2 for all vertices
n>=3
Wheel graph
Wn graph with n vertices that has a vertex that connects to all the vertices. it is usually in the middle
