Lecture Notes for September 17

DEFINITION 7 Isomorphism A graph G_1 = (V_1, E_1) is called isomorphic to a graph G_2 = (V_2, E_2) whenever there exists a bijection \phi:V_1 \rightarrow V_2 such that \forall a,b\in V_1 we have (ab)\in E_1 if and only if ( \phi (a) \phi (b))\in E_2. G_1\sim G_2 means they are isomorphic to each other.

  • Isomorphism does not mean two things are identical but mathematically the same.

The relationship of isomorphisms:

1. Reflexive: G \sim G A graph is isomorphic to itself

2. Symmetric: G_1 \sim G_2 \implies G_2 \sim G_1 In other words, for every \phi:V_1 \rightarrow V_2 we have \phi ^{-1} :V_2 \rightarrow V_1

3. Transitive: G_1 \sim G_2 , G_2 \sim G_3 \implies G_1 \sim G_3
