Questions and Answers

In graph theory, what is an isomorphism between two simple graphs G and H?

  • A bijection f:V(G)→V(H) such that uv is an edge in G if and only if f(u)f(v) is an edge in H (correct)
  • A function that maps the vertices of G to the edges of H
  • A function that maps the edges of G to the edges of H
  • A function that maps the vertices of G to the vertices of H

What is a complete graph in graph theory?

  • A graph where each vertex has a different degree
  • A graph where every vertex has a self-loop
  • A graph where no two vertices share an edge
  • A graph where every vertex is connected to every other vertex (correct)

What is the Petersen Graph?

  • A graph with 5 vertices connected in a cycle
  • A graph with 10 vertices arranged in a pentagon shape
  • A graph composed of only complete bipartite graphs
  • A graph where the vertices are subsets of a 5-element set and edges are pairs of disjoint 2-element subsets (correct)
