- Understanding relationships: To build relationship trees across families or organizations
- Hydrology: To perform flow regime simulation analysis of various fluids
Terminology and representations
A graph (G) is a network of vertices (V) interconnected using a set of edges (E). Let |V| represent the count of vertices and |E| represent the count of edges. The value of |E| lies in the range of 0 to |V|2 - |V|. Based on the directional edges, the ...
