Graphs

Rosen 8.1, 8.2


There Are Many Uses for Graphs!
• Networks
• Data organizations
• Scene graphs
• Geometric simplification
• Program structure and processes
• Lots of others….
• Also applications (e.g., species structure—
phylogeny tree)
Definitions
• A simple graph G = (V,E) consists of V, a
nonempty set of vertices, and E, a set of
unordered pairs of distinct elements of V called
edges.
• A multigraph G = (V,E) consists of a set V of
vertices, a set E of edges, and a function f from
E to {{u,v} | u,v V, u ≠ v}. The edges e1 and e2
are called multiple or parallel edges if f(e1) =
f(e2).
Properties

Simple graph
– Undirected
– Single edges
– No loops

Multigraph
– Undirected
– Multiple edges
– No loops

Directed Graph
• A directed graph consists of a set of
vertices V and a set of edges E that are
ordered pairs of V
– Loops are allowed
– Multiple edges are allowed

Adjacency and Degree
• Two vertices u and v in an undirected graph
are called adjacent (or neighbors) in G if e =
{u,v} is an edge of G. The edge e is said to
connect u and v. The vertices u and v are
called the endpoints of e.
• The degree of a vertex in an undirected graph
is the number of edges that are incident with
(or connect) it, except that a loop at a vertex
contributes twice to the degree. The degree of
the vertex v is denoted by deg(v).
Handshaking Theorem
Let G = (V,E) be an undirected graph
with e edges. Then

2e = ∑deg( v).
v∈V

(Note that this applies even if multiple


edges and loops are present.)
How many edges are there in a graph
with ten vertices each of degree 6?

Since the sum of the degrees of the vertices


is 6·10 = 60, it follows that 2e =60.
Therefore, e = 30.
Prove that an undirected graph has an
even number of vertices of odd degree.
Let V1 and V2 be the set of vertices of even degree
and the set of vertices of odd degree,
respectively, in an undirected graph G = (V,E).
Then
2e = ∑deg( v) = ∑deg( v) + ∑deg( v).
v∈V v∈V1 v∈V2

Since deg(v) is even for v  V1, this term is even.


Prove that an undirected graph has an
even number of vertices of odd degree.
2e = ∑deg( v) = ∑deg( v) + ∑deg( v).
v∈V v∈V1 v∈V2

Furthermore, the sum of these two terms is even, since the


sum is 2e. Hence, the second term in the sum is also even.
(Why?) Since all the terms in the sum are odd, there must
be an even number of such terms. (Why?) Thus there are
an even number of vertices of odd degree.

What can we say about the vertices of even degree?


Cycles
The cycle Cn, n≥3, consists of n vertices
v1, v2,…, vn, and edges {v1, v2}, {v2, v3},…,
{vn-1, vn}, {vn, v1}.

Tree
A circuit is a path of edges that begins and ends
at the same vertex.

A path or circuit is simple if it does not contain


the same edge more than once.

• A tree is a connected undirected graph with


no simple circuits.

• A forest is a set of trees that are not


connected.
