Relations Between Graphs

Yangjing Long, Ling Yang, Peter F. Stadler and Jürgen Jost

Abstract

Given two graphs G=(V_G,E_G) and H=(V_H,E_H), we ask under which conditions there is a relation that generates the edges of H given the structure of G. This construction generalizes full homomorphisms of graphs and naturally leads to generalized notions of retractions, cores, and co-cores of graphs.
