Fundamental Groupoids for Graphs

In this paper, we develop a $\times$-homotopy fundamental groupoid for graphs, and show a functorial relationship to the 2-category of graphs. We further explore the fundamental groupoid of graph products and develop a groupoid product which respects the graph product. A van Kampen Theorem for these groupoids is provided. Finally, we generalize previous work on a fundamental group for graphs, developing a looped walk groupoid and showing a connection to the polyhedral complex of graph morphisms.
