Abstract: | Graphs on n vertices are classified into equivalence classes under the linear group L(n). All graphs representing the same operator on a vector space Vn belong to the same class. Graphs of different operators may or may not belong to the same class as ascertained by rules that were given by the author. Graphs in the same class are structurally covariant. If, in addition, two graphs can be continuously deformed into each other in the sense of varying line strengths while remaining structurally covariant throughout, then the two graphs are termed deformationally covariant along such paths. Applications in the quantum theory of chemistry and to the dynamic stability theory of coupled reaction systems which occur in various fields are indicated. |
