Graphs & their representation[1] I

A graph is an ordered pair (V (G ), E (G )) consisting of a set V (G )


of vertices and a set E (G ), disjoint form V (G ), of edges, together
with an incidence function G that associates with each edge of G
an unordered pair of(not necessarily distinct) vertices of G .
If e is an edge and u and v are vertices such that G (e) = {u, v },
then e is said to join u and v , and the vertices u and v are called
the ends of e.
Order of G : v (G ) means number of vertices in G .
Size of G : e(G ) means number of edges in G .
Examples:
G = (V (G ), E (G ))
where

Adjacency List: In a simple graph for each vertex v , the


neighbours of v are listed in some order. A list (N(v ) : v V )
of these lists is called an adjacency list of the graph. Simple
graphs are usually stored in computers as adjacency lists.
Vertex degree: denoted by dG (v ), is the number of edges of
G incident with v . each loop counting as two edges.
The minimum degree of G, denoted by (G ), is the
minimum degree among all the vertices of G.
The maximum degree of G, denoted by (G ), is the
maximum degree among all the vertices of G.

Theorem
For any graph G ,

v V

d(v ) = 2m, here m: number of edges

Proof.
Consider the incidence matrix M of G . The sum of the entiries in
the row corresponding to vertex v is precisely d(v ). Therefore
P
v V d(v ) is just the sum of all the entries in M. But this sum is
also 2m, because each of the m column sums of M is 2, each edge
having two ends.
In any graph, the number of vertices of odd degree is even.

Isolated vertex: A vertex of degree zero.

Regular graph: a regular graph is a graph where each vertex


has the same number of neighbors; i.e. every vertex has the
same degree or valency.

empty nor complete is said to be strongly regular with
parameters (v , k, , ) if:
v(G) = v,
G is k-regular,

Identical Graphs:
Two graphs G and H are identical, written G = H, if
V (G ) = V (H), E (G ) = E (H), and G = H .
If two graphs are identical, they can clearly be represented by
identical diagrams.
It is also possible for graphs that are not identical to have
essentially the same diagram. For example, the graph G and
H in Figure 1 can be represented by diagrams which look
exactly the same, as the second drawing of H shows; the sole
difference lies in the labels of their vertices and edges.
Although the graphs G and H are not identical, they do have
identical structures, and are said to be isomorphic.

Automorphism: An automorphism of a graph is an isomorphism


of the graph to itself. In the case of a simple graph, an
automorphism is just a permutaion of its vertex set which
preserves adjacency: if uv is an edge then so is (u)(v ). Find out
isomorphism between G1 , G2 and G3 .

edges in a shortest path connecting them. If there is no path
connecting the two vertices then the distance between them is
