Degree of a Vertex
The number of edges incident to the vertex. For a vertex , this is written as .
Graph Radius
The minimum eccentricity of any vertex in the graph. For graph , .
Chromatic Number
The smallest number of colors needed to color the vertices of a graph so that no two adjacent vertices share the same color.
Hamiltonian Path
A path in a graph that visits each vertex exactly once. Determining if such a path exists is known as the Hamiltonian Path Problem.
Adjacency Matrix
A square matrix used to represent a finite graph. The elements are if there is an edge between vertices and , and otherwise.
Cycle Length
The number of edges in a cycle within a graph.
Incidence Matrix
A matrix that shows the relationship between vertices and edges. For a graph with vertices and edges, is a matrix where if vertex is incident to edge , otherwise .
Graph Diameter
The longest shortest path between any two vertices in a graph. For graph , where is the shortest path between and .
Maximum Flow
The greatest possible flow from the source to the sink in a network with capacities. It can be calculated using algorithms like Ford-Fulkerson method.
Graph Connectivity
A measure of the degree to which all vertices of a graph are connected. A graph is 'k-connected' if there are at least 'k' vertex-disjoint paths between any two vertices.
Path Length
The number of edges in a path between two vertices.
Eulerian Circuit
A circuit in a graph that visits every edge exactly once. A connected graph has an Eulerian circuit if and only if every vertex has an even degree.
