👉 The term "epitrope" is a mathematical concept in graph theory and combinatorics, specifically used to describe the structure of graphs. It refers to a subgraph that can be obtained by removing a single vertex from an undirected graph. This process is known as deletion of a vertex, which is also referred to as a deletion operation. In graph theory, an "epitrope" in a given graph is a subset of its vertices that does not contain any other vertices from
