Extract

A graph G is a pair (V{G), E(G)); V(G) is the set of vertices of G, and E(G) the set of edges of G; E(G) is a subset of the Cartesian product V(G) × V(G) (all pairs (υi, υj) where υiV(G), υjV(G)). If υ is a vertex of G we shall write υ ∈ G. The graph-theoretic terminology used in this paper is that of Berge (1). We shall consider only graphs which are finite, undirected, and without loops.
