The traveling salesman problem is a problem in graph theory requiring the most efficient (i.e., least total distance) Hamiltonian cycle a salesman can take through each of n ...

A polynomial Z_G(q,v) in two variables for abstract graphs. A graph with one graph vertex has Z=q. Adding a graph vertex not attached by any graph edges multiplies the Z by ...

A graph is a forbidden minor if its presence as a graph minor of a given graph means it is not a member of some family of graphs. More generally, there may be a family of ...

The degree of a graph vertex of a graph is the number of graph edges which touch the graph vertex, also called the local degree. The graph vertex degree of a point A in a ...

A simple graph with n>=3 graph vertices in which each graph vertex has vertex degree >=n/2 has a Hamiltonian cycle.

Let a graph G have graph vertices with vertex degrees d_1<=...<=d_m. If for every i<n/2 we have either d_i>=i+1 or d_(n-i)>=n-i, then the graph is Hamiltonian.

An graph edge of a graph is separating if a path from a point A to a point B must pass over it. Separating graph edges can therefore be viewed as either bridges or dead ends.

Let a graph G have exactly 2n-3 graph edges, where n is the number of graph vertices in G. Then G is "generically" rigid in R^2 iff e^'<=2n^'-3 for every subgraph of G having ...

The edge set of a graph is simply a set of all edges of the graph. The cardinality of the edge set for a given graph g is known as the edge count of g. The edge set for a ...

The mean distance of a (connected) graph is the mean of the elements of its graph distance matrix. Closed forms for some classes of named graphs are given in the following ...
