For instance, {{math|''α''(''G'')}} is the independence number of a graph; {{math|''α''β²(''G'')}} is the matching number of the graph, which equals the independence number of its line graph. Similarly, {{math|''χ''(''G'')}} is the chromatic number of a graph; {{math|''χ''{{hsp}}β²(''G'')}} is the chromatic index of the graph, which equals the chromatic number of its line graph.}} {{glossary end}}
