Abstract
In this chapter we shall survey some basic ideas of graph theory. Most of our readers will already be familiar with these topics; those who are not, or wish to explore them further or to see proofs, should consult a recent book on the subject, such as Wallis (A beginner’s guide to graph theory, 2nd edn. Birkhäuser, Boston, MA (2007)) or West (An introduction to graph theory, 2nd edn. Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ (2001)). Our main aim here is to ensure that we use all the terminology in the same way, and to standardize our notation.
