DISCLAIMER: I am no math expert.

Adjacent vertices

isn't there a more concise definition? – jldupont May 20 '11 at 20:27
I thought you were looking for the term which fits the definition you provided. If you want a more concise term then you can use it in the following manner "Vertices A & B are adjacent". – Jacob May 20 '11 at 20:29

@jldupont: are you looking for a term or a definition? Besides "adjacent vertices" I can only think of "neighboring vertices" as far as terms. These are already relatively short terms. I suppose if you really wanted to, you could define a shorter term yourself, but I don't really see the point of this. – Qiaochu Yuan May 20 '11 at 20:44
Sorry: I meant as per question i.e. a concise name. – jldupont May 21 '11 at 0:20
