for Question 4

4. (a) Find the adjacency matrix for
(i) K4, the complete graph on four vertices. [3]
(ii) K2,3 the complete bipartite graph on (2,3) vertices. [3]
(b) Show that the following pairs of graphs are not isomorphic by finding an isomorphic invariant that they do not share.
(i)

[2]
(ii)

[2]
(c) Show that the two graphs below are isomorphic by finding the two functions
g : V( G ) ® V( G' )
h : E( G ) ® E( G' )
by drawing the arrow diagrams, such that, for all v Î V(G) and e Î E(G) , v is an endpoint of e iff g(v) is an endpoint of h(e). [5]

(d) Redraw the following bipartite graphs, so that their bipartite natures are evident. [5]
