Definition:1.1
A graph G is an ordered triple set {(V(G), E(G), )} consisting of  non-empty set V(G) of vertices, a set E(G) distinct from V(G) of edges and an incidence function  that associates with edge of G. If e is an edge and (u,v) are vertices such that , then e is said to  join the vertices u and v  and u and v are called the ends of e.

          A graph is said to be simple if it has no loops and no multiple or parallel edges.

Definition:1.3
An edge (a set of two elements) is drawn as a line connecting two vertices, called endpoints or end vertices. An edge with end vertices x and y is denoted by xy. The edge set of G is usually denoted by E(G). The size of a  graph is the number of its edges, i.e. |E(G)|.

Definition:1.4
More than one edge associated with a given pair of vertices. Such edge referred as parallel edges or multiple edges.

Definition:1.5
Two vertices are said to be adjacent if they are the end vertices of same edge. If a vertex v is an end vertex of an edge e, we say that the vertex v is incident on the edge e and also the edge e  is incident on vertex v.
