Overview
A directed graph G
is a pair \langle V, E \rangle
, where V
is a finite set and E
is a binary relation on V
. An undirected graph G
is a pair \langle V, E \rangle
, where V
is a finite set and E
is a set of unordered pair of vertices from V
. In both types of graphs, V
is called the vertex set of G
and E
is called the edge set of G
.

Incidence

is an edge of a directed graph, we say \langle u, v \rangle
is incident to v
and incident from u
. Furthermore, we say v
is adjacent to u
. If \{u, v\}
was instead an edge of an undirected graph, we say \{u, v\}
is incident on u
and v
. Likewise, v
is adjacent to u
and u
is adjacent to v

is a sequence of vertices such that consecutive vertices in the sequence are adjacent in G

Paths
A path is a trail in which no vertex is repeated (except possibly the first and last). A cycle is a path that starts and ends at the same vertex. A graph with no cycles is acyclic.
In computer science, a cycle is sometimes required to have more than one edge:
- In a directed graph, path
\langle v_0, v_1, \ldots, v_k \rangle
is a cycle ifv_0 = v_k
and the path contains at least one edge. - In an undirected graph, path
\langle v_0, v_1, \ldots, v_k \rangle
is a cycle ifv_0 = v_k
and all edges are distinct.

Isomorphisms
An isomorphism between two graphs G_1
and G_2
is a bijection f \colon V_1 \rightarrow V_2
between the vertices of the graphs such that (a, b)
is an edge in G_1
if and only if (f(a), f(b))
is an edge in G_2
. Here parenthesis are used to denote either ordered pairs (for directed graphs) or unordered pairs (for undirected graphs).
We say G_1
and G_2
are isomorphic, denoted G_1 \cong G_2
, if and only if there exists an isomorphism between G_1
