Basic Notations of Graph Theory
 Consider diagrams shown in above figure
 Every diagrams represent Graphs
 Every diagram consists of a set of points which are shown by dots or circles and are
sometimes labelled V1, V2, V3… OR 1,2,3…
 In every diagrams, certain pairs of such points are connected by lines or arcs
 Note that every arc start at one point and ends at another point

Basic Notations of Graph Theory
 Graph
 A graph G consist of a non-empty set V called the set of nodes (points, vertices) of the graph, a set E which
is the set of edges and a mapping from the set of edges E to a set of pairs of elements of V
 It is also convenient to write a graph as G=(V,E)
 Notice that definition of graph implies that to every edge of a graph G, we can associate a pair of nodes of
the graph. If an edge X Є E is thus associated with a pair of nodes (u,v) where u, v Є V then we says that edge
x connect u and v

 Adjacent Nodes
 Any two nodes which are connected by an edge in a graph are called adjacent nodes

Graph – Concepts & Definitions
 Directed & Undirected Edge
 In a graph G=(V,E) an edge which is directed from one end to another end is called a directed edge, while the
edge which has no specific direction is called undirected edge

 Directed graph (Digraph)

 A graph in which every edge is directed is called directed graph or digraph e.g. b,e & g are directed graphs

 Undirected graph
 A graph in which every edge is undirected is called undirected graph e.g. c & f are undirected graphs

 Mixed Graph
 If some of the edges are directed and some are undirected in graph then the graph is called mixed graph e.g.
d is mixed graph

 Loop (Sling)
 An edge of a graph which joins a node to itself is called a loop (sling).
 The direction of a loop is of no significance so it can be considered either a 2
2
directed or an undirected. 2

 Distinct Edges 1
1
3
 In case of directed edges, two possible edges between any pair of nodes
which are opposite in direction are considered Distinct. 1 1
4
 Parallel Edges
 In some directed as well as undirected graphs, we may have certain pairs of
nodes joined by more than one edges, such edges are called Parallel edges.

6
Graph – Concepts & Definitions
 Multigraph
 Any graph which contains some parallel edges is called multigraph
 If there is no more then one edge between a pair of nodes then such a graph is called Simple graph

 Weighted Graph
 A graph in which weights are assigned to every edge is called weighted graph

 Isolated Node
 In a graph a node which is not adjacent to any other node is called isolated node

 Null Graph
 A graph containing only isolated nodes are called null graph. In other words set of edges in null graph is
empty

7
Graph – Concepts & Definitions
 For a given graph there is no unique diagram which represents the graph.
 We can obtain a variety of diagrams by locating the nodes in an arbitrary 1 2

numbers.
 Following both diagrams represents same Graph.
4 3
 Indegree of Node
 The no of edges which have V as their terminal node is call as indegree of node V.
1
 Outdegree of Node
 The no of edges which have V as their initial node is call as outdegree of node V.
4
 Total degree of Node
2 3
 Sum of indegree and outdegree of node V is called its Total Degree or Degree of
vertex.

Path of the Graph
Some of the path from 2 to 4
1 2 P1 = ((2,4))
P2 = ((2,3), (3,4))
P3 = ((2,1), (1,4))
P4 = ((2,3), (3,1), (1,4))
P5 = ((2,3), (3,2), (2,4))
4 3
P6 = ((2,2), (2,4))

 Let G=(V, E) be a simple digraph such that the terminal node of any edge in the sequence is the
initial node of the edge, if any appearing next in the sequence defined as path of the graph.
 Length of Path
 The number of edges appearing in the sequence of the path is called length of path.

9
Graph – Concepts & Definitions
 Simple Path (Edge Simple)
 A path in a diagraph in which the edges are distinct is called simple path or edge simple
 Path P5, P6 are Simple Paths
 Elementary Path (Node Simple)
 A path in which all the nodes through which it traverses are distinct is called elementary path
 Path P1, P2, P3 & P4 are elementary Path
 Path P5, P6 are Simple but not Elementary
 Cycle (Circuit)
 A path which originates and ends in the same node is called cycle (circuit)
 E.g. C1 = ((2,2)), C2 = ((1,2),(2,1)), C3 = ((2,3), (3,1), (1,2)
 Acyclic Diagraph
 A simple diagraph which does not have any cycle is called Acyclic Diagraph.

10
Tree– Concepts & Definitions
 Directed Tree
 A directed tree is an acyclic digraph which has one node called its root with in degree 0, while all other nodes
have in degree 1.
 Every directed tree must have at least one node.
 An isolated node is also a directed tree.

Tree– Concepts & Definitions
 Terminal Node (Leaf Node)
 In a directed tree, any node which has out degree 0 is called terminal node or leaf node.

 Level of Node
 The level of any node is the length of its path from the root.

 Forest
 If we delete the root and its edges connecting the nodes at level 1, we obtain a set of disjoint tree. A set of
disjoint tree is a forest.

Tree– Concepts & Definitions
 Height of the tree
 The height of a tree is the length of the path from the root to the deepest node in the tree.

 Binary Tree
 If in a directed tree the out degree of every node is less than or equal to 2 then tree is called binary tree.

 Strictly Binary Tree

 A strictly binary tree (sometimes proper binary tree or 2-tree or full binary tree) is a tree in which every node
other than the leaves has two children.

 Complete Binary Tree

 If the out degree of each and every node is exactly equal to 2 or 0 and their number of nodes at level i is
2(i-1) then the tree is called a full or complete binary tree.
