citations missing date January 2008 In graph theory , the term cycle may refer to a closed path graph theory path . If repeated vertex graph theory vertices are allowed, it is more often called a closed walk . If the path is a simple path, with no repeated vertices or edges other than the starting and ending vertices, it may also be called a simple cycle , circuit , circle , or polygon see Cyclegraph . A cycle in a directed graph is called a directed cycle. The term cycle may also refer to An element of the binary or integral or real, complex, etc. cycle space of a graph. This is the usage closest to that in the rest of mathematics, in particular algebraic topology . Such a cycle may be called a binary cycle , integral cycle , etc. An edge set that has even degree at every vertex also called an even edge set or, when taken together with its vertices, an even subgraph . This is equivalent to a binary cycle, since a binary cycle is the indicator function of an edge set of this type. Chordless cycle s in a graph are sometimes called graph holes .

The terms lattice graph , mesh graph , or grid graph refer to a number of categories of graph mathematics graph s whose graph drawing drawing corresponds to some grid mesh lattice, i.e., its vertices correspond to the nodes of the mesh and its edges correspond to the ties between the nodes. Square grid graph A common type of a lattice graph known under different names, such as square grid graph is the graph whose vertices correspond to the points in the plane with integer coordinates, x coordinates being in the range 1,..., n, y coordinates being in the range 1,..., m, and two vertices are connected by an edge whenever the corresponding points are at distance 1. In other words, it is a unit distance graph for the described point set. ref name weiss Properties A square grid graph is a Cartesian product of graphs , namely, of two path graph s with n 1 and m 1 edges. ref name weiss Since a path graph is a median graph , the latter fact implies that the square grid graph is also a median graph.

It is a cubic graph every vertex touches exactly three edges. It was discovered ... to a question posed by Jon Folkman 1967. The Gray graph is interesting as the first known example of a cubic graph having the algebraic property of being edge but not vertex transitive see below . The Gray graph has chromatic number 2, chromatic index 3, radius 6 and diameter 6. It is also a 3 k vertex connected graph vertex connected and 3 k edge connected graph edge connected planar graph non planar graph .

Image Aperiodic graph.svg thumb An aperiodic graph. The cycles in this graph have lengths 5 and 6 therefore, there is no k 1 that divides all cycle lengths. Image Period 3 graph.svg thumb A Strongly connected component strongly connected graph with period three. In the Mathematics mathematical area of graph theory , a directed graph is said to be aperiodic if there is no integer k 1 that divides the length of every Cyclegraphcycle of the graph. Equivalently, a graph is aperiodic if the greatest common divisor of the lengths of its cycles is one this greatest common divisor for a graph G is called the period of G . Graphs that cannot be aperiodic In any directed bipartite graph , all cycles have a length that is divisible by two. Therefore, no directed bipartite graph can be aperiodic. In any directed acyclic graph , it is a vacuous truth that every k divides all cycles because there are no directed cycles to divide so no directed acyclic graph can be aperiodic. And in any directed cyclegraph , there is only one cycle, so every cycle s length is divisible by n , the length of that cycle ... into sets V sub i sub has the property that each edge in the graph goes from a set V sub ... connected graph G , k must divide the lengths of all cycles in G .

In a Strongly connected component strongly connected graph , if one defines a Markov chain ... from v to w , then this chain is aperiodic if and only if the graph is aperiodic. A Markov chain in which all states are recurrent has a strongly connected state transition graph, and the Markov chain is aperiodic if and only if this graph is aperiodic.
