    Study Notes

    Lecture 10: Graphs

    • A graph is a pictorial and mathematical representation of objects where some pairs of objects are connected by links.

    • Interconnected objects are represented by points called vertices or nodes.

    • Links connecting vertices are called edges or arcs or lines.

    • A graph is an ordered pair G where:

      • G specifies the graph.
      • V is the vertex-set (elements are vertices or nodes); denoted by V(G) or V.
      • E is the edge-set (elements are edges or connections between vertices); denoted by E(G) or E.

    • Graphs have key terms:

      • Neighbors: Two nodes connected by an edge.
      • Degree of a node: The number of other nodes it is connected to (number of neighbors).
      • Loop: An edge connecting a node to itself.
      • Path: A sequence of nodes connected by edges.
      • Cycle: A closed path starting and ending at the same node (no node visited more than once).

    • Adjacent Vertices: Two vertices are adjacent if there's an edge connecting them.

    • Adjacent Edges: Edges sharing a common vertex.

    • Degree of a Vertex: The number of edges connected to that vertex.

    • Path: A sequence of vertices where each vertex is adjacent to the next. A simple path does not repeat vertices.

    • Circuit: A path that begins and ends at the same vertex.

    • Cycle: A circuit that doesn't repeat vertices.

    • Connected Graph: A graph where any two vertices are connected by a path.

    • Disconnected Graph: A graph that is not connected.

    • Components: Connected subgraphs in a disconnected graph.

    • Bridge: An edge whose deletion increases the number of components.

    • Euler Path: A path that travels through all edges of a connected graph.

    • Euler Circuit: A circuit that visits every edge of a connected graph.

    • Graph Types:

      • Null Graph: A graph with no edges between vertices (empty graph).
      • Trivial Graph: A graph with only one vertex.
      • Simple Graph: An undirected graph with no parallel edges and no loops.
      • Undirected Graph: Edges have no direction.
      • Directed Graph: Edges have direction (arrows).
      • Complete Graph: Every pair of vertices is connected by exactly one edge.
      • Connected Graph: Any two vertices are connected by a path.
      • Disconnected Graph: Not all vertices are connected.
      • Regular Graph: All vertices have the same degree. K-regular graph means all vertices have degree k.
      • Cyclic Graph: A graph with at least one cycle.
      • Acyclic Graph: A graph with no cycles.
      • Bipartite Graph: Vertices can be divided into two disjoint sets, and edges connect vertices in different sets only.
      • Complete Bipartite Graph: Every vertex in one set is connected to every vertex in the other set.
      • Star Graph: A complete bipartite graph where all vertices in one set have degree 1, and a single vertex connects to all of them.
      • Weighted Graph: Edges have weights/values assigned to them, allowing for the concept of path length.

    • Graph representations: Adjacency matrix, Incidence matrix, Adjacency list.

      • Adjacency Matrix: n x n matrix where aij = 1 if there is an edge between vertex i and j, otherwise 0.
      • Incidence Matrix: Rows for vertices, columns for edges. A non-zero represents connection with an edge.
      • Adjacency List: A linked list for each vertex, detailing adjacent vertices/edges.

    • Basic Properties:

      • Distance between two vertices: The number of edges in the shortest path between the vertices.
      • Eccentricity of a vertex: Maximum distance between a vertex and all other vertices.
      • Radius of a graph: Minimum eccentricity among all vertices.
      • Diameter of a graph: Maximum eccentricity among all vertices.
      • Central point(s): Vertex(vertices) with minimum eccentricity.
      • Circumference: The length of the longest cycle.
