Philosophical note: The principle of transmitting the definition component-wise

This note addresses impracticalities or possible absurdities with regards to the definition corresponding of some graph parameters. To remedy the impracticalities the principle of transmitting the definition is put forward. The latter principle justifies a comprehensive review of many known graph parameters, the results related thereto, as well as the methodology of applications which draw a distinction between connected versus disconnected simple graphs. To illustrate the notion of transmitting the definition, various parameters are re-examined such as, connected domination number, graph diameter, girth, vertex-cut, edge-cut, chromatic number, irregularity index and quite extensively, the hub number of a graph. Ideas around undefined viz-a-viz permissibility viz-a-viz non-permissibility are also discussed.
