    Study Notes

    Graph Theory Basics

    • In graph theory, mathematical abstractions are called graphs.

    Graph Representation

    • Edges in a graph are typically depicted as lines or arcs between vertices.

    Undirected Graphs

    • An undirected graph is a graph where the edges do not have direction, i.e., they do not have an arrowhead.

    Directed Graphs

    • A directed edge in a graph represents a one-way relationship between vertices, indicated by an arrowhead.
    • The significance of a directed edge is that it implies a direction of flow or influence from one vertex to another.

    Origins of Graph Theory

    • The word 'graph' was first used in the context of graph theory by James Joseph Sylvester in 1878.

    Vertices

    • Vertices in a graph are also known as nodes or points.

    Graph Definition

    • A graph in the context of graph theory is a non-linear data structure consisting of vertices connected by edges.

    Edge Functionality

    • Edges are used in a graph to represent relationships between vertices, such as connections, interactions, or flows.

    Graph Theory History

    • The concept of graph theory was introduced by Leonhard Euler in the 18th century.

    Applications of Linear Graphs

    • Besides discrete mathematics, the application of linear graphs can be used in fields such as computer science, physics, biology, and social network analysis.
