When a vertex vi, is an end vertex of some edge ej, vi and ej are said to be incident with each other
Edges e2,e6 and e7 are incident with vertex v4.
Two non parallel edges are said to be adjacent if they are incident on a common verrtex. e2 and e7 are adjacent.
Tow vertices are sic to be adjacent if threy are the end vertices of the same edge. v4 and v5 are adjacent,but v1 and v4 are not
First Theorem of graph theory
the sum of the degree of all vertices in G is twice the number of edges in G.
Theorem 2 : the number of vertices of odd degree in a graph is always even
Definitions
- A vertex having no incident edge is called an isolated vertex.Isolated vertices are vertices with zero degree.
- A vertex of degree one is called a pendant vertex or an end vertex.
- Two adjavent edges are said to be in series if their common vertex is of degree two.
- A graph, without any edges is called a null graph. Every vertex in a null graph is an isolated vertex.
- The list of degree of vertices of a graph G is called its degree sequence. The degree sequence of the graph is the previous example is (3,4,3,3,1)
