Abstract

In this paper, a function on any pair of graphs is defined whose properties are similar to the properties of dot product in vector space. This function enables us to define graph orthogonality and, also, a new metric on isomorphism classes of $n$-vertex graphs. Using dot product of graphs, a coordinate system for graphs is provided which benefits us in graph isomorphism and related problems.
