Abstract

An efficient method for constructive enumeration of graphs is suggested. The method is based on the so called semicanonical numbering of graphs, that is a numbering much more restrictive than the cooperative numbering. Graph-theoretical properties of the semicanonical numbering make it possible to formulate an exhaustive and nonredundant constructive enumeration of graphs. The approach allows an easy introduction of specifications for molecular graphs.
