Study Notes
Network Theory Terminology
- In network theory, a node's immediate neighbors are referred to as its adjacent nodes.
Graph Theory
- The study of interconnections between nodes or vertices is called graph theory.
Path Types
- A circuit is a path that starts and ends at the same node.
- A Hamiltonian cycle is a path that visits every vertex exactly once and returns to the starting vertex.
Connection Strength
- The strength of connections between nodes in network theory is described by the term conductance.
Theorems
- Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the total voltage around a closed loop in a circuit is zero.
- Thevenin's Theorem states that any linear electrical network with voltage and current sources can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a single voltage source and a single series resistor.
- Euler's Formula states that any connected graph with |V| vertices and |E| edges satisfies the equation |V| - |E| + |F| = 1, where |F| is the number of regions formed by the edges.
- Ohm's Law states that the voltage across two points in a network is equal to the current flowing between those two points multiplied by the equivalent resistance between them.
Node Properties
- The number of links connected to a node is described by the term degree.
- The measure of how easily electrical current can flow through a component is described by the term conductivity.
