Graphs 1 Introduction We have studied one non-linear data structure so far i.e Trees. A graph is another non-linear data structure that is widely used to solve many real-life computing problems. For example‚ we need to use a graph to find out whether two places on a road-map are connected and what is the shortest distance between them. Graphs are used in simulating electrical circuits to find out current flows and voltage drops at various points in the circuit. Graphs are widely used in telephone

Trenerry §5 Graph Theory Loosely speaking‚ a graph is a set of dots and dot-connecting lines. The dots are called vertices and the lines are called edges. Formally‚ a (finite) graph G consists of A finite set V whose elements are called the vertices of G; A finite set E whose elements are called the edges of G; A function that assigns to each edge e ∈ E an unordered pair of vertices called the endpoints of e. This function is called the edge-endpoint function. Note that these graphs are not related

Graphs and Function What is the relation between the graphs and function and how was it applied in the real world? Graphs are frequently used in national magazines and newspaper to present information about things such as the world’s busiest airports (O’Hare in China is first‚ Heathrow in London is sixth)‚ about the advertising-dollar receivers in the United States (newspaper are first‚ radio is fourth) and about NCAA men’s golf team title winner (Yael is first‚ Houston is second).

Applications of Graph Theory in Real Life Sharathkumar.A‚ Final year‚ Dept of CSE‚ Anna University‚ Villupuram Email: kingsharath92@gmail.com Ph. No: 9789045956 Abstract Graph theory is becoming increasingly significant as it is applied to other areas of mathematics‚ science and technology. It is being actively used in fields as varied as biochemistry (genomics)‚ electrical engineering (communication networks and coding theory)‚ computer science (algorithms and computation) and operations

Tree definitions If you already know what a binary tree is‚ but not a general tree‚ then pay close attention‚ because binary trees are not just the special case of general trees with degree two. I use the definition of a tree from the textbook‚ but bear in mind that other definitions are possible. Definition. A tree consists of a (possible empty) set of nodes. If it is not empty‚ it consists of a distinguished node r called the root and zero or more non-empty subtrees T1‚ T2‚ …‚ Tk such that there

Representing Graphs Introduction A.Aho and J.Ulman acknowledge that “Fundamentally‚ computer science is a science of abstraction.” Computer scientists must create abstractions of real-world problems that can be represented and manipulated in a computer. Sometimes the process of abstraction is simple. For example‚ we use a logic to design a computer circuits. Another example - scheduling

Describe at least one mathematical feature of the graph (e.g. shape‚ slope‚ coordinates‚ axes‚ quadrants‚ etc.) and how the feature/graph can help us to analyze the real-life situation.

Introduction in Graph Theory (BASIC CONCEPTS) BASIC CONCEPTS We used decision trees in Unit DT and used them to study decision making. However‚ we did not look at their structure as trees. In fact‚ we didn’t even define a tree precisely. What is a tree? It is a particular type of graph‚ which brings us to the subject of this unit. What is a Graph? There are various types of graphs‚ each with its own definition. Unfortunately‚ some people apply the term “graph” rather loosely‚ so
