Graph Theory

| A 'graph' G consists of a finite nonempty set V = V(G) of p 'points'
| together with a prescribed set X of q unordered pairs of distinct points
| of V.  Each pair x = {u, v} of points in X is a 'line' of G, and x is said
| to 'join' u and v.  We write x = uv and say that u and v are 'adjacent points'
| (sometimes denoted 'u adj v');  point u and line x are 'incident' with each other,
| as are v and x.  If two distinct lines x and y are incident with a common point,
| then they are 'adjacent lines'.  A graph with p points and q lines is called
| a '(p, q) graph'.  The (1, 0) graph is 'trivial'.
