Graphs

A graph is a way of representing relationships that exist between pairs of objects. That is, a graph is a set of objects, called vertices, together with a collection of pairwise connections between them. This notion of a "graph" should not be confused with bar charts and function plots, as these kinds of "graphs" are unrelated to the topic of this chapter. Graphs have applications in a host of different domains, including mapping, transportation, electrical engineering, and computer networks.

Viewed abstractly, a graph G is simply a set V of vertices and a collection E of pairs of vertices from V, called edges. Thus, a graph is a way of representing ...
