A graph with m(>1) vertices, each pair of distinct vertices connected by an edge, and also a graph obtained from such a graph by the process of subdividing edges through the insertion of new vertices of valency 2, will be denoted by ≪m, o≫. A graph obtained from a graph with m(>2) vertices in which each pair of distinct vertices are connected by an edge, by deleting n (≤ m-1) edges incident with one and the same vertex, and also a graph obtained from such a graph by the process of subdividing edges through the insertion of new vertices of valency 2, will be denoted by ≪m, n≫.
