Incidence geometry
Incidence geometry is a mathematical structure composed of objects of various types and an incidence relation between them. It can be modelled by a vertex colored graph G.
- The colors correspond to the object types.
- Adjacent vertices of G correspond to incident objects.
- The number of colors used in the vertex coloring is called the rank of the incidence geometry.
- Incidence geometries of rank two are also known as incidence structures.
