Trail, Path, and Cycle

In a simple graph,

• A trail is a walk whose edges each appear no more than once.

• A circuit is a nonempty trail whose first and last vertices are the same.

• A path is a trail whose vertices appear no more than once.

• A cycle is a nonempty trail whose first and last vertices are the same and whose vertices except for the first appear no more than once.

Warning: graph theorists mean something different by "path" than do homotopy theorists. A "walk" in graph theory is a "path" in homotopy theory. Another warning: some graph theorists use "path" and "simple path" for "walk" and "path."

Some definitions and theorems have inspiration from multigraph counterparts in [Cho94].

Main definitions

• SimpleGraph.Walk.IsTrail, SimpleGraph.Walk.IsPath, and SimpleGraph.Walk.IsCycle.

• SimpleGraph.Path

• SimpleGraph.Path.map for the induced map on paths, given an (injective) graph homomorphism.
