Two graphs are ------------ if both can be obtained from the same graph by inserting additional vertices of degree 2 into it's edges.
40 of 54
Contractible
A graph G is ------------ to another graph H' if H' can be obtained by successively contracting edges of H. That is, by removing an edge and identifying it's end vertices
41 of 54
