Nov 9, 2014 at 12:00 comment added Peter Maybe, I am wrong with the expression subgraph in case of minors. But what is true, that a general subgraph can have less edges between the given vertex-set than the original graph.
Nov 9, 2014 at 11:53 comment added patang @Peter I'm pretty confused by this name 'induced' ,what induction does this subgraph does...
Nov 9, 2014 at 11:49 comment added Peter Merging vertices does not produce an indeced subgraph in general, but it produces a subgraph.
Nov 9, 2014 at 11:47 comment added patang @Peter I don't get in which case can we merge vertices: in induced subgraph or subgraph
Nov 9, 2014 at 11:46 comment added Peter Suppose, u and w are the only neighbours of v. Then, replacing the edges u-v and v-w by a single edge u-w produces a MINOR. A minor is a graph that can be constructed by the original graph by deleting vertices, deleting edges or merging vertices as shown. If the edge u-v does not exist in the original graph, the subgraph is not induced.
Nov 9, 2014 at 11:40 comment added patang @Peter can you just elaborate your example as I don't know what a minor is ?
Nov 9, 2014 at 11:37 comment added Peter An INDUCED subgraph has the same edges as the original graph between the given set of vertices. A minor is, for example, a subgraph, but in general not an induced subgraph. An important difference is the merging of vertices, for example, a chain u-v-w can be replaced by u-w. If u and w are not connected in the original graph, such a subgraph would be not induced.
Nov 9, 2014 at 11:31 comment added Tuomo Lempiäinen Consider an induced subgraph, and then remove some of its edges. Is it still an induced subgraph? Is it a subgraph?
