What is a graph?
What is a graph?
A graph is a mathematical structure made up of vertices and edges. Vertices represent objects or points, and edges connect the vertices, showing relationships between them.
What is a loop in a graph?
What is a loop in a graph?
Edges can connect a vertex to itself, forming a loop. For example: Edge 'b' connects 'u' to itself.
What does an edge connect?
What does an edge connect?
An edge connects two different vertices. For example: Edge 'a' connects vertex 'u' to vertex 'v'.

Study Notes
Course Information
- Course title: Math 20223 Graph Theory with Application
- Instructor: Rafael A. Duarte
- Department: Mathematics and Statistics
- Date: Thursday, November 14th, 2024
Graph Theory Overview
- Graphs are mathematical structures consisting of vertices and edges
- A graph is an ordered triple (V(G), E(G), ΨG)
- V(G) is a set of vertices
- E(G) is a set of edges
- ΨG is an incidence function
- Vertices represent objects, and edges represent relationships between them
- The Königsberg Problem, solved by Leonard Euler, marked the start of graph theory in the 18th Century.
Definitions
- Vertex: A point or node in a graph. Also known as a node.
- Edge: A line or connection between two vertices. Also known as an arc or line.
- Loop: An edge that connects a vertex to itself.
- Link: An edge that connects two distinct vertices.
- Incident: A vertex is incident to an edge if the edge connects to the vertex
- Adjacent: Two vertices are adjacent if there is an edge connecting them.
- Order of a graph: The number of vertices
- Size of a graph: The number of edges
- Neighborhood of a vertex: The set of all vertices adjacent to that vertex
- Degree of a vertex: The number of edges connected to that vertex
- Isolated vertex: A vertex with a degree of 0
- Dominating/universal vertex: A vertex with a degree n-1, where n is the order of the graph
Example Graphs (Refer to diagrams)
- Examples demonstrate various graphs and illustrate different graph features
- Specific examples provided and analyzed for graph elements (edges, vertices, loops, etc.)
- Detailed analysis of the relationships between vertices and edges in a graph is shown within the notes
