Zusammenfassung: | In mathematics, graph theory is the study of graphs, which are mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects. A graph G is a pair G = (V, E), where V and E are the vertex set and the edge set of G, respectively. The order and size of G is the number of vertices and edges of G, respectively. The degree or valency of a vertex u in a graph G (loopless), denoted by deg (u), is the number of edges meeting at u. If, for every vertex ν in G, deg (ν) = k, we say that G is a k-regular graph. The cycle of order n is denoted by Cn and is a connected 2-regular graph. The path graph of order n is denoted by Pn and obtain by deleting an edge of Cn. A tree is an undirected graph in which any two vertices are connected by exactly one path, or equivalently a connected undirected graph without cycle. A leaf (or pendant vertex) of a tree is a vertex of the tree of degree 1. An edge of a graph is said to be pendant if one of its vertices is a pendant vertex. A complete bipartite graph is a graph G with and such that every vertex of the set (part) X is connected to every vertex of the set (part) Y. If , then this graph is denoted by Km,n. The complete bipartite graph K1,n is called the star graph which has n + 1 vertices. The distance between two vertices u and ν of G, denoted by d (u, ν), is defined as the minimum number of edges of the walks between them. The complement of graph G is denoted by and is a graph with the same vertices such that two distinct vertices of are adjacent if, and only if, they are not adjacent in G.
