  Degree (graph theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the mathematical field of graph theory the degree or valency of a vertex v is the number of edges incident to v (with loops being counted twice).
In a directed graph the indegree of a vertex v is the number of edges terminating at v and the outdegree is the number of edges originating at v.
If each vertex of the graph has the same degree k the graph is called a k-regular graph and the graph itself is said to have degree k.

Graph theory is the branch of mathematics that examines the properties of graphs.
In computers, a finite directed or undirected graph (with n vertices, say) is often represented by its adjacency matrix: an n-by-n matrix whose entry in row i and column j gives the number of edges from the i-th to the j-th vertex.
A subgraph of the graph G is a graph whose vertex set is a subset of the vertex set of G, whose edge set is a subset of the edge set of G, and such that the map w is the restriction of the map from G.

A graph structure can be extended by assigning a weight to each edge, or by making the edges to the graph directional (A links to B, but B does not necessarily link to A, as in webpages), technically called a digraph.
Graphs are represented graphically by drawing a dot for every vertex, and drawing an arc between two vertices if they are connected by an edge.
Incidence matrix - The graph is represented by a matrix of E (edges) by V (vertices), where contains the edge's data (simplest case: 1 - connected, 0 - not connected).

 PlanetMath: graph theory
Graph theory is the branch of mathematics that concerns itself with graphs.
It is usually agreed upon that graph theory proper was born in 1736, when Euler formalized the now-famous ``bridges of Königsberg'' problem.
Now, a (finite) graph is usually thought of as a subset of pairs of elements of a finite set (called vertices), or more generally as a family of arbitrary sets in the case of hypergraphs.

Informally, a graph is a set of objects called vertices (or nodes) connected by links called edges (or arcs).
Depending on the applications, edges may or may not have a direction; edges joining a vertex to itself may or may not be allowed, and vertices and/or edges may be assigned weights, that is, numbers.
If the vertex is an endpoint to the edge, a value of 1 is assigned to their crossing, otherwise, a value of 0 is assigned.

The second notion, that of the edges being connections between nodes, is by far too important to the Graph Theory to leave it to one's intuitive perception.
A degree of a vertex is the number of edges incident to it (loops being counted twice).
For a graph, the sum of degrees of all its nodes equals twice the number of edges.

A complete graph is a simple graph with n vertices in which there is an edge between every pair of distinct vertices.
A graph G =(V, E) is bipartite if there exist subsets V1 and V2 (either possibly empty)of V such that V1 intersect V2 = empty set V1 union V2 = V,and each edge in E is incident on one vertex in V1 and one vertex in V2.

 Graph Theory Open Problems
A graph which can be embedded in the plane so that vertices correspond to points in the plane and edges correspond to unit-length line segments is called a ``unit-distance graph.'' The question above is equivalent to asking what the chromatic number of unit-distance graphs can be.
Paul O'Donnell has found a unit distance graph of girth 12 which cannot be 3-colored, but this graph has an incredibly large number of points.
To get the square of an oriented graph (or any directed graph) you leave the vertex set the same, keep all the arcs, and for each pair of arcs of the form (u,v), (v,w), you add the arc (u,w) if that arc was not already present.

A graph is a set V of vertices and a set E of edges -- pairs of elements of V. This simple definition makes Graph Theory the appropriate language for discussing (binary) relations on sets, which is clearly a broad topic.
A graph may be viewed as a one-dimensional CW-complex and hence studied with tools from Algebraic Topology, in particular, questions of planarity (and genus).

Graph paper is not particularly useful for drawing the graphs of Graph Theory.
In Graph Theory, a graph is a collection of dots that may or may not be connected to each other by lines.

 Graph Theory Glossary
In a digraph (directed graph) the degree is usually divided into the in-degree and the out-degree (whose sum is the degree of the vertex in the underlying undirected graph).
The vertex a is the initial vertex of the edge and b the terminal vertex.
A path is a sequence of consecutive edges in a graph and the length of the path is the number of edges traversed.

 ``Introduction to Graph Theory'' (2nd edition)
"Even graph" is my compromise expression for the condition that all vertex degrees are even, and I will continue to use "cycle" for a 2-regular connected graph, "circuit" for a cyclically-edge-ordered connected even graph, and "circuit" for a minimal dependent set in a matroid.
Most research and applications in graph theory concern graphs without multiple edges or loops, and often multiple edges can be modeled by edge weights.
Letting "graph" forbid loops and multiple edges simplifies the first notion for students, making it possible to correctly view the edge set as a set of vertex pairs and avoid the technicalities of an incidence relation in the first definition.

Every graph G has embeddings in surfaces S_k when k is large enough (e.g., k = number of edges) and so there is a _least_ such nonnegative integer k which is defined to be the _genus of G_ denoted gamma(G) (the book uses g for genus but we use g for girth).

 Graph Theory. 2. Vertex Descriptors and Graph Coloring
For every sequence matrix three ordering criteria are applied: lexicographic ordering, based on strings of numbers, corresponding to every vertex, extracted as rows from sequence matrices; ordering by the sum of path lengths from a given vertex; and ordering by the sum of paths, starting from a given vertex.
A sequence matrix is a matrix that collects vertex contribution in each row and elongation of paths in each column.
The elements of the matrix cumulate a value of vertex property for a given elongation.

The graph can further be viewed as a table of vertices and edges, where we read down the colmuns to find that, for example, edge A connects vertices 1 and 2:
The other edges that contact either of verticex 1 or 9 are B, C and L, hence in the new graph, A is connected to B, C and L: This can also be placed in an adjacency matrix.

A graph is a very simple structure consisting of a set of vertices and a family of lines (possibly oriented), called edges (undirected) or arcs (directed), each of them linking some pair of vertices.
The number of concepts that can be defined on graphs is very large, and many generate deep problems or famous conjectures (for instance the four colour problem).
We present in an annex a small bibliographical reference on Graph Theory, and a more precise description of our research topics.
