Nodes/Vertices
Dots of a graph
Arcs/Edges
Lines of a graph
Graph
Series of nodes connected by edges
Degree of a vertex
How many ends of edges there are
Total order in a connected graph
Must be even unless there is a loop
Connected Graph
A graph where it is possible to go from any vertex to any vertex
Loop
An edge that connects to the same vertex
Simple graph
Graph with no loops and no multiple edges between any two vertices
Complete graph
Every vertex is connected to every other vertex
Kn
Complete graph with n vertices
Number of arcs in Kn
(n^2-n) / 2
Digraph
Graph where at least one edge has a direction associated to it
Bipartite graph
Nodes are in two distinct sets
Every edge connects a member of one set to the other
Trail
A sequence of joined up edges so that no edge is repeated
Path
A sequence of joined up nodes where no node is repeated
