Q

What is a digraph?

A

A graph with edges that have a specified direction (through arrows). Orders have no meaning in these graphs.

Q

What is a network?

A

A graph with weights (numbers) associated with the edges

17
Q

Define a Eulerian graph

A

A connected graph with only even orders.

18
Q

Define a semi-Eulerian graph

A

A connected graph with only two odd orders

19
Q

Explain why an Eulerian graph can only have nodes of even order

A

In a closed trail containing every arc once, each time a node occurs it has an arc going in and an arc going out. Each node is therefore at the end of an even number of arcs, and therefore has an even order.

20
Q

What is Kn used for and what does it show?

A

It is the notation for a complete graph with n nodes

21
Q

What is a bipartite graph?

A

Two sets of nodes, with arcs only connecting one to the other and not connecting nodes within one set

22
Q

Analyse Kr,s in terms of being Eulerian and semi-Eulerian

A

If r and s are both even, it will be Eulerian. If r and s = 1 the graph is semi-Eulerian. If r or s = 2 and the other is an odd number, the graph is semi Eulerian.

23
Q

What does Kr,s show.

A

A bipartite graph, with r showing the number of nodes in one set and s showing the other.

24
Q

What is the total number of arcs in a Kr,s graph?

A

r x s

25
Q

What is the order of a Kn graph?

A

n-1
