  2. Graph theory - Wikipedia

    A loop is an edge that joins a vertex to itself. Graphs as defined in the two definitions above cannot have loops, because a loop joining a vertex to itself is the edge (for an undirected simple graph) or is incident on (for an undirected multigraph) {,} = {} which is not in {{,},}. To allow loops, the definitions must be expanded.

  3. Graph (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_(discrete_mathematics)

    A graph with three vertices and three edges. A graph (sometimes called an undirected graph to distinguish it from a directed graph, or a simple graph to distinguish it from a multigraph) [4] [5] is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a set whose elements are called vertices (singular: vertex), and E is a set of unordered pairs {,} of vertices, whose elements are called edges (sometimes links or lines).

  4. Edge (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_(geometry)

    In geometry, an edge is a particular type of line segment joining two vertices in a polygon, polyhedron, or higher-dimensional polytope. [1] In a polygon, an edge is a line segment on the boundary, [2] and is often called a polygon side. In a polyhedron or more generally a polytope, an edge is a line segment where two faces (or polyhedron sides ...

  5. Directed graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_graph

    A directed graph is weakly connected (or just connected [9]) if the undirected underlying graph obtained by replacing all directed edges of the graph with undirected edges is a connected graph. A directed graph is strongly connected or strong if it contains a directed path from x to y (and from y to x) for every pair of vertices (x, y).

  6. Glossary of graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_graph_theory

    A numerical value, assigned as a label to a vertex or edge of a graph. The weight of a subgraph is the sum of the weights of the vertices or edges within that subgraph. weighted graph A graph whose vertices or edge s have been assigned weight s. A vertex-weighted graph has weights on its vertices and an edge-weighted graph has weights on its edges.

  7. Line graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_graph

    In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, the line graph of an undirected graph G is another graph L(G) that represents the adjacencies between edges of G. L(G) is constructed in the following way: for each edge in G, make a vertex in L(G); for every two edges in G that have a vertex in common, make an edge between their corresponding vertices in L(G).

  8. Bipartite graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartite_graph

    When modelling relations between two different classes of objects, bipartite graphs very often arise naturally. For instance, a graph of football players and clubs, with an edge between a player and a club if the player has played for that club, is a natural example of an affiliation network, a type of bipartite graph used in social network analysis.

  9. Matching (graph theory) - Wikipedia

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

    In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, a matching or independent edge set in an undirected graph is a set of edges without common vertices. [1] In other words, a subset of the edges is a matching if each vertex appears in at most one edge of that matching. Finding a matching in a bipartite graph can be treated as a network flow problem.
