Definitions Flashcards
Graph
Consists of vertices(nodes) connected by edges(arcs).
Sub graph
Part of a graph
Weighted graph
A graph in which a number is associated with each edge.
Degree (of order)
In a graph, the number of edges incident to a vertex.
Path (2)
A finite sequence of edges in a graph, where no vertex appears more than once.
The end vertex of one edge is the starting vertex of the next.
Walk
A path where a vertex can be revisited more than once.
Circuit
A closed path: the end vertex of the last edge is also the starting vertex of the first edge.
Connected graph
A graph in which all the vertices are connected.
A loop
In a graph, where an edge starts and finishes in at the same vertex
Simple graph
A graph with no loops and the with no more than one edge connecting any pair of vertices
Tree graph
A connected graph with no circuits
Digraph
A graph which has a direction associated with its edges.
Spanning tree
A sub graph including all the vertices of the original graph, and is also a tree
Bipartite graph
Has two sets of vertices from one set to vertices of each other. There are no edges joining the sand set.
Complete graph
A graph in which each vertex is directly connected to every other vertex.
