What is a path?
A walk in which no node is visited more than once.
What is a trail?
A walk in which no arc is visited more than once?
What is a cycle?
A walk in which the end node is the same as the start node
What is a Hamilton cycle?
A cycle which includes every node
What makes two nodes connected?
When an arc joins them
What makes a graph connected?
If all vertices are connected
What is a loop?
An arc that starts and finishes at the same node
What is a simple graph?
Where there are no loops and only one arc connects a pair of nodes
