Abstract
A graph Γ consists of two sets A (directed edges) and V (vertices) together with two functions
which satisfy \(\bar \bar a = \alpha ,\bar \alpha \ne \alpha \) for each α in A. The vertices i(α), t(α) are the initial and terminal vertices of the directed edge α, and \(\bar \alpha \) is the reverse of α. Henceforth we refer to directed edges simply as edges.
