  4. Girth (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girth_(graph_theory)

    In graph theory, the girth of an undirected graph is the length of a shortest cycle contained in the graph. [1] If the graph does not contain any cycles (that is, it is a forest), its girth is defined to be infinity. [2] For example, a 4-cycle (square) has girth 4. A grid has girth 4 as well, and a triangular mesh has girth 3.

  5. Glossary of graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_graph_theory

    The girth of a graph is the length of its shortest cycle. graph The fundamental object of study in graph theory, a system of vertices connected in pairs by edges. Often subdivided into directed graphs or undirected graphs according to whether the edges have an orientation or not. Mixed graphs include both types of edges. greedy

  6. Longest path problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_path_problem

    In graph theory and theoretical computer science, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph.A path is called simple if it does not have any repeated vertices; the length of a path may either be measured by its number of edges, or (in weighted graphs) by the sum of the weights of its edges.

  7. Eulerian path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulerian_path

    A connected graph has an Euler cycle if and only if every vertex has an even number of incident edges. The term Eulerian graph has two common meanings in graph theory. One meaning is a graph with an Eulerian circuit, and the other is a graph with every vertex of even degree. These definitions coincide for connected graphs. [2]

  8. Erdős–Gyárfás conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős–Gyárfás_conjecture

    In graph theory, the unproven Erdős–Gyárfás conjecture, made in 1995 by mathematician Paul Erdős and his collaborator András Gyárfás, states that every graph with minimum degree 3 contains a simple cycle whose length is a power of two.

  9. Pancyclic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancyclic_graph

    In the mathematical study of graph theory, a pancyclic graph is a directed graph or undirected graph that contains cycles of all possible lengths from three up to the number of vertices in the graph. [1] Pancyclic graphs are a generalization of Hamiltonian graphs, graphs which have a cycle of the maximum possible length.
