Let K denote a connected finite 1-dimensional cell complex (1, p. 95), G(K) its group of homeomorphisms, and D(K) the group of homeomorphisms of K which are isotopic to the identity. The group (K) = G(K)/D(K) is a topological invariant of K and is called the homeotopy group ofK (4). K may be thought of as a linear graph (connected finite 1- dimensional simplicial complex) extended to admit loops and multiple edges and (K) as the topological analogue of the automorphism group A(L), (the permutations of vertices which preserve edge incidence relations) of a linear graph L.
