1.1. Graphs 29Two graphs G and H are isomorphic if H can be obta<strong>in</strong>ed by relabell<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> vertices<strong>of</strong> G that is, if <strong>the</strong>re is a one-one correspondence between <strong>the</strong> vertices <strong>of</strong> G and those <strong>of</strong>H, such that <strong>the</strong> <strong>number</strong> <strong>of</strong> edges jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g each pair <strong>of</strong> vertices <strong>in</strong> G is equal to <strong>the</strong> <strong>number</strong><strong>of</strong> edges jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> correspond<strong>in</strong>g pair <strong>of</strong> vertices <strong>in</strong> H. Such a one-one correspondenceis an isomorphism.Example 1.1.26 For example, <strong>the</strong> graphs G and H represented by <strong>the</strong> diagramsFigure 1.13: Two graphs G and H are not <strong>the</strong> same, but <strong>the</strong>y are isomorphic.are not <strong>the</strong> same, but <strong>the</strong>y are isomorphic, s<strong>in</strong>ce we can relabel <strong>the</strong> vertices <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> graphG to get <strong>the</strong> graph H, us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g one-one correspondence:G ↔ H, u ↔ 4, v ↔ 3, w ↔ 2 and x ↔ 1Note that edges <strong>in</strong> G correspond to edges <strong>in</strong> H, for example: <strong>the</strong> two edges jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gu and v <strong>in</strong> G correspond to <strong>the</strong> two edges jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g 4 and 3 <strong>in</strong> H; <strong>the</strong> edge uw <strong>in</strong> Gcorresponds to <strong>the</strong> edge 42 <strong>in</strong> H; <strong>the</strong> loop ww <strong>in</strong> G corresponds to <strong>the</strong> loop 22 <strong>in</strong> H.Remark 1.1.27 Note that if G ∼ = H <strong>the</strong>n |V G | = |V H |, |E G | = |E H |, and <strong>the</strong>ir degreesequences must be identical. However none <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se is a sufficient condition for isomorphism.Example 1.1.28 For example, <strong>the</strong> graphs G and H represented by <strong>the</strong> diagrams below(see Figure 1.14); which have |V G | = |V H | and |E G | = |E H |, but <strong>the</strong>y are not isomorphic.Figure 1.14: Two graphs G and H are not isomorphic.
