  Graph homomorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the mathematical field of graph theory a graph homomorphism is a mapping between two graphs that respects their structure.
If the homomorphism f is a bijection, then the inverse function is also a graph homomorphism, so f is a graph isomorphism.
In this case, the two graphs are identical from the viewpoint of graph theory.

 Graph coloring   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In graph theory, graph coloring is an assignment of "colors", almost always taken to be consecutive integers starting from 1 without loss of generality, to certain objects in a graph.
Graph coloring is not to be confused with graph labeling, which is an assignment of labels, usually also in the form of numbers, to vertices or edges.
The chromatic polynomial of a graph was introduced by Birkhoff and Lewis in their attack on the four-color theorem.

Two colorings of G will be considered different if at least one of the labeled points is assigned a different color.Then, it can be shown that f(G, t) will be a polynomial in t.
For example for the complete graph of 3 vertices(K_3), f(K_3, t) = t(t-1)(t-2) since the first vertex can be colored in t ways, the second in t-1 ways and so on.

 Workshop on Data Management for Molecular and Cell Biology
Graphs are used to represent metabolic pathways, signaling pathways, genetic control networks, various physical and genetic maps (partial orders), concept lattices, chemical structure graphs, 3D chemical structures, etc. Although graphs can be encoded into relational DBMSs, few relational DBMSs have good facilities for querying graph structures.
Graph queries are often recursive, and may involve subgraph isomorphism queries (for chemical structure graphs), or graph homomorphism queries (of metabolic pathways).
While a few DBMSs support recursive queries, subgraph isomorphism or graph homomorphism queries are generally not supported at all, much less with convenient query languages.

Though the graphical representation of these objects is often considered as an interesting feature for knowledge representation (natural representation, intuitive understanding), we are most interested in graphs as a mathematical structure, and in their use for reasoning.
Coming from a conceptual graph background, we have adapted the reasoning operation used in this model (basically a graph homomorphism) to obtain sound and complete inferences in the Semantic Web languages RDF [Baget 2003c] and RDFS.
Querying RDF graphs can be reduced to computing entailment and a popular way to compute entailment is to find a projection from an RDF graph to another.

 Knowledge Representation and Reasonings Based on Graph Homomorphism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The main conceptual contribution in this paper is to present an approach to knowledge representation and reasonings based on labeled graphs and labeled graph homomorphism.
It is then shown that the basic deduction problem on simple graphs is essentially the same problem as conjunctive query containment in databases and constraint satisfaction; polynomial parsimonious transformations between these problems are exhibited.
Grounded on the simple graphs model, a knowledge representation and reasoning model allowing to deal with facts, production rules, transformation rules, and constraints is presented, as an illustration of the graph-based approach.

 Automorphism
Very informally, an automorphism is a symmetry of the object, a way of showing its internal regularity (whichever side of a regular polygon you choose as it basis, it looks the same).
For example, in graph theory an automorphism of a graph is a permutation of the nodes that maps the graph to itself.
In group theory, an automorphism of a group G is a bijective homomorphism of G onto itself (that is, a one-to-one map G

We define the $k$@-diameter of a graph as the maximum distance of a set of $k$ vertices; so the $2$@-diameter is the normal diameter and the $n$@-diameter, where $n$ is the order, is the distance of the graph.
The aim of the paper is to study mappings of partial monounary algebras that respect their graph representation.
The idea is based on the notion of strong homomorphisms of graphs.

Close connections between percolation and random graphs, between graph homomorphisms and hard-constraint models, and between slow mixing and phase transition, have led to new results and new perspectives.
This work was part of a plan to study combinatorial versions of concepts from statistical physics, and in particular to link graph properties which view a graph as the target of a homomorphism to others in which it is the source, and we shall pursue this plan.
A geometric graph is a graph drawn in the plane so that the vertices are represented by points in general position and the edges are represented by straight line segments connecting the corresponding points.

Abstract: Simple conceptual graphs are considered as the kernel of most knowledge representation formalisms built upon Sowa's model.
Reasoning in this model can be expressed by a graph homomorphism called projection, whose semantics is usually given in terms of positive, conjunctive, existential FOL.
We present here a family of extensions of this model, based on rules and constraints, keeping graph homomorphism as the basic operation.
