18.1Introduction

Graphs (Chapter 4) have found extensive applications in computer science as a modeling tool. In mathematical terms, a graph is simply a collection of vertices and edges. Indeed, a popular graph data structure is the adjacency lists representation [1] in which each vertex keeps a list of vertices connected to it by edges. In a typical ...
