valency


In a graph, multigraphMathworldPlanetmath, or pseudographMathworldPlanetmath G, the valencyPlanetmathPlanetmath of a vertex isthe number of edges attached to it (note that a loop counts twice).

Synonymous with and. There are some unrelated things alsocalled valence; there are of course many things all called degree.

For directed graphsMathworldPlanetmath, in- and out- are prefixed to any of the synonyms, to count incoming and outgoing edges separately.

If ρ(v) is used for the valency of vertex v, the notation ρ(G) (or ρ on its own if there is no scope for confusion) denotes the maximum valency found in graph G. Another notation often seen is δ(G) and Δ(G) for lowest and highest valency in G respectively.

If the valency is the same number (ρ, say) for all its vertices, G is called regular. More specifically it is called ρ-valent or ρ-regular. Connected (components of)…

  • …0-valent graphs are edgeless vertices,

  • …1-valent graphs are pairs of vertices joined by an edge,

  • …2-valent graphs are cyclic graphs, i.e. n-gons, of various sizes

  • From ρ3 these structures start getting more interesting.3-valent (or trivalent) graphs are also known ascubic graphs.

A ρ-valent graph with n vertices has nρ/2 edges.
