Graphs and Networks Flashcards
What is a complete graph?
A graph where each node is connected by one arc to each other node
What is a node?
The blobs/dots
What is an arc?
The lines
What is a vertex?
The blobs/dots
What is an edge?
The lines
What are two terms for the lines in a graph?
Arcs and Edges
What are two terms for the blobs/dots in a graph?
Nodes and Vertices
What is a trail?
A walk where no edge appears more than once
What is a path?
A trail in which no vertices are visited more than once
What is a cycle?
A closed path that finishes at the same vertex that it started at
What classifies as a connected graph?
When all vertices are connected
What is a simple graph?
A graph with no loops, and no more than one edge connecting a pair of vertices
What is the degree/order of a vertex?
The number of edges connected to it
What is a digraph?
A graph with edges that have a specified direction (through arrows). Orders have no meaning in these graphs.
What is a tree?
A connected graph with no cycles
