In this paper we consider finite graphs without loops and multiple edges. A graph is considered to be an ordered pair 〈G, *〉 where G is a finite set the elements of which are called the vertices of while * is a subset of [G]2 (where [G]2 is the set of all subsets of two elements of G). The elements of * are called the edges of . If {P, Q} ∊ *, we say that Q is adjacent to P. The degree of a vertex is the number of vertices adjacent to it. Let k be an integer. We say that is the complete k-graph if G has k elements and * = [G]2.
