A walk in a graph is defined as a finite alternating sequence of vertices and edges beginning and ending with vertices, where each edge connects the preceding and following vertices. An open walk has distinct start and end vertices, while a closed walk starts and ends at the same vertex. A trail is a walk where edges are traversed at most once, and a path is a trail where vertices are also visited at most once. A closed trail is called a circuit, and a closed path is called a cycle.
