Basic Terminology

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 2031)

Abstract

We introduce some graph theory definitions and notation which are needed to discuss factor theory in graphs. We begin with some notation on sets. If X is a subset of Y, then we write X ⊆ Y ; if X is a proper subset of Y, we write X ⊂ Y. For two disjoint subsets A and B of Y, we denote A ? B by A + B. Moreover, if C is a subset of A, then we write A - C for A \ C. The number of elements in a set X is denoted by |X| or #X.
