Subgraph

tex2html_wrap_inline187
Induced Subgraph by V'
tex2html_wrap_inline191

Complete graph
tex2html_wrap_inline193 eg. if (v,w) is an edge then v & w are adjacent to each other and v and w are said to be incident with the edge (v,w).

def A path from v to w is a sequencs of vertex tex2html_wrap_inline211 ,..., such that tex2html_wrap_inline213 tex2html_wrap_inline215 .
(Books defenition is not good)
If tex2html_wrap_inline213 all tex2html_wrap_inline219 are distinct, then the length of the path is k. tex2html_wrap_inline223 is a path of length 0.

Connected Graph:

Cycle is path tex2html_wrap_inline227 such that tex2html_wrap_inline229
A graph without any cycle is called acylic.

Tree: Acyclic connected graph

Rooted tree has a designated root vertex establishing parent & child relationship
number of edge in a tree is n-1
Could be proved by induction
A connected component of a graph G is a maximal connected subgraph of G

Weighted Graph
G=(V,E,w)
tex2html_wrap_inline235
w(e) weight of e (Capacity or distance)
