Math Systems Flashcards
between two graphs means that they have essentially the same structure
ISOMORPHISM
if you can combine two edges by deleting a vertex to combine two edges (or smoothing out the edges)and repeating the process
HOMOMORPHISM
Every non-planar graph has a subgraph that is homomorphic to the graphs or πΎ5 πΎ3,3
is a mathematical system consisting of a set of elements called the domain and one or more operations for combining the elements on the domain
algebraic system
an algebraic system, denoted by (π,β) , that consists a set π with one binary operation β (read as βstarβ) which possesses certain properties
group
Properties of a group
- Closure
- Associative
- Identity
- Inverse
means that if any two elements are combined using the operation, the result must be an element of the set
Closure Property
if performing the operation on three elements by pairs will give the same answer even if the orde
Associative
Property
The set π has an identity or neutral element π if for any element π in S
Existence of
Identity (Neutral) Element
Each of the elements in π should have an inverse found in the same set
Existence
of Inverse Elements
Symmetry groups are based on
regular
polygons
refers to the degree with which an entity (object, function, etc) is invariant
under some geometric operation
Symmetry
all of whose sides have the same length and all of whose angles have the same measure
regular
polygons
Symmetry Groups
- Identity
- R120
- R240
- Rl
- Rt
- Rr
dictates chemical bonding and spectroscopic properties
Molecular symmetry
