Graph Theory Flashcards
Degree/order
The number of edges a vertex is connected to
Simple graph
A graph that has no loops
It also has at most one edge between each pair of vertices
Directed graph/digraph
A graph who’s edges have a direction
Complete graph
A graph where every vertexes connected to every other vertex
Formula for total number of edges in a complete graph
n(n-1)/2
Trail
A journey along the edges of a graph, with no edge included more than once
Path
A trail where no vertex is visited more than once (except for the starting vertex)
Cycle
A closed path with at least one edge
Hamiltonian cycle
A cycle that visits every vertex
Eulerian trail
A trail that includes every edge
Eulerian graph
A graph that possesses a closed Eulerian trail
Semi-Eulerian
A graph that possesses a non-closed trail that uses all its edges
Traversable
A graph that can be drawn without lifting your pen off the page
Formula for the maximum number of Hamiltonian cycles in a graph with n nodes
(n-1)!/2
Formula for the maximum number of Hamiltonian cycles in a Diagraph with n nodes
(n-1)!
