Incidence (graph)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In graph theory, a vertex is incident with an edge if the vertex is one of the two vertices the edge connects.

An incidence is a pair where is a vertex and is an edge incident with

Two distinct incidences and are adjacent if and only if , or or .

An incidence coloring of a graph is an assignment of a color to each incidence of G in such a way that adjacent incidences get distinct colors. It is equivalent to a strong edge coloring of the graph obtained by subdivising each edge of once.
