Things that need to be added to this article:
 +
* A proper definition of a graph.  ("Formally, a graph <math>G</math> is a pair, <math>G = (V, E)</math>, of a set <math>V</math> of vertices together with a subset <math>E</math> of pairs of members of <math>V</math>.")
 +
* Directed graphs, multigraphs, loopless graphs, simple graphs, and the distinctions between these.
 +
* "Path," "tree," "forest," "circuit" or "cycle," "Hamiltonian path" (and circuit and cycle), etc.
 +
* To distinguish between a formal graph (a pair of two sets) and a geometric realization of a graph.
 +
* Most of these words deserve their own page and so should be linked to.

I would have started doing this, but the first two points together are difficult to integrate into a single intro section.  Help would be appreciated.  --[[User:JBL|JBL]] 10:20, 4 January 2008 (EST)

Things that need to be added to this article:

  • A proper definition of a graph. ("Formally, a graph $G$ is a pair, $G = (V, E)$, of a set $V$ of vertices together with a subset $E$ of pairs of members of $V$.")
  • Directed graphs, multigraphs, loopless graphs, simple graphs, and the distinctions between these.
  • "Path," "tree," "forest," "circuit" or "cycle," "Hamiltonian path" (and circuit and cycle), etc.
  • To distinguish between a formal graph (a pair of two sets) and a geometric realization of a graph.
  • Most of these words deserve their own page and so should be linked to.

I would have started doing this, but the first two points together are difficult to integrate into a single intro section. Help would be appreciated. --JBL 10:20, 4 January 2008 (EST)
