Automorphism Of A Graph

Definition

An $\textdef{automorphism of a graph}$ is a permutation $\sigma$ of the set of vertices such that two vertices $x$ and $y$ form an edge if and only if $\sigma(x)$ and $\sigma(y)$ form an edge. The $\textdef{automorphism group of a graph}$ is the set of all automorphisms of the graph. If $\mathcal{G}$ is a graph, its automorphism group is denoted $\aut(\mathcal{G})$.


Remarks

  • None.
