GRAPH
What is a Graph?
• A graph G = (V,E) is composed of:
    V: set of vertices
    E: set of edges connecting the vertices in V
• An edge e = (u,v) is a pair of vertices
• Example:
                a                           b      V= {a,b,c,d,e}

                                                   E= {(a,b),(a,c),
                              c                    (a,d),
                                                   (b,e),(c,d),(c,e),
                                                   (d,e)}
                d                           e

Adjacent and Incident

• If (v0, v1) is an edge in an undirected graph,
   – v0 and v1 are adjacent
   – The edge (v0, v1) is incident on vertices v0 and v1
• If <v0, v1> is an edge in a directed graph
   – v0 is adjacent to v1, and v1 is adjacent from v0
   – The edge <v0, v1> is incident on v0 and v1
Terminology:
Degree of a Vertex
 The degree of a vertex is the number of edges
 incident to that vertex
 For directed graph,
   the in-degree of a vertex v is the number of edges
   that have v as the head
   the out-degree of a vertex v is the number of edges
   that have v as the tail
   if di is the degree of a vertex i in a graph G with n
   vertices and e edges, the number of edges is

          n −1

          ∑d ) / 2
                          Why? Since adjacent vertices each
   e =(          i        count the adjoining edge, it will be
           0
                          counted twice

Connectivity
• Let n = #vertices, and m = #edges
• A complete graph: one in which all pairs of vertices are
  adjacent
• How many total edges in a complete graph?
   – Each of the n vertices is incident to n-1 edges, however, we would
     have counted each edge twice! Therefore, intuitively, m = n(n -1)/2.
• Therefore, if a graph is not complete, m < n(n -1)/2



                                 n=5
                                 m = (5 ∗ 4)/2 = 10

Oriented (Directed) Graph

• A graph where edges are directed
Directed vs. Undirected Graph

• An undirected graph is one in which the pair
  of vertices in a edge is unordered, (v0, v1) =
  (v1,v0)
• A directed graph is one in which each edge is
  a directed pair of vertices, <v0, v1> != <v1,v0>

Adjacency Matrix

Let G=(V,E) be a graph with n vertices.
The adjacency matrix of G is a two-dimensional
n by n array, say adj_mat
If the edge (vi, vj) is in E(G), adj_mat[i][j]=1
If there is no such edge in E(G), adj_mat[i][j]=0
The adjacency matrix for an undirected graph is
symmetric; the adjacency matrix for a digraph
need not be symmetric

Merits of Adjacency Matrix


From the adjacency matrix, to determine the
connection of vertices is easy
                           n −1

The degree of a vertex is ∑ adj _ mat[i][ j ]
                            j=0
For a digraph (= directed graph), the row sum is
the out_degree, while the column sum is the
in_degree
           n −1                       n −1
ind (vi ) = ∑ A[ j , i ] outd (vi ) = ∑ A[i , j ]
            j =0                      j =0
Adjacency Lists (data structures)

 Each row in adjacency matrix is represented as an adjacency list.

An undirected graph with n vertices and e edges ==> n head nodes and 2e list nodes
Some Operations
degree of a vertex in an undirected graph
 –# of nodes in adjacency list
# of edges in a graph
 –determined in O(n+e)
out-degree of a vertex in a directed graph
 –# of nodes in its adjacency list
in-degree of a vertex in a directed graph
 –traverse the whole data structure
Graph Traversal

• Problem: Search for a certain node or traverse
  all nodes in the graph
• Depth First Search
   – Once a possible path is found, continue the search
     until the end of the path
• Breadth First Search
   – Start several paths at a time, and advance in each
     one step at a time

Exploring a Labyrinth
      Without Getting Lost
• A depth-first search (DFS) in an undirected graph G is like wandering
  in a labyrinth with a string and a can of red paint without getting lost.
• We start at vertex s, tying the end of our string to the point and painting
  s “visited”. Next we label s as our current vertex called u.
• Now we travel along an arbitrary edge (u, v).
• If edge (u, v) leads us to an already visited vertex v we return to u.
• If vertex v is unvisited, we unroll our string and move to v, paint v
  “visited”, set v as our current vertex, and repeat the previous steps.
Breadth-First Search

• Like DFS, a Breadth-First Search (BFS) traverses a connected component of a
  graph, and in doing so defines a spanning tree with several useful properties.
• The starting vertex s has level 0, and, as in DFS, defines that point as an
  “anchor.”
• In the first round, the string is unrolled the length of one edge, and all of the
  edges that are only one edge away from the anchor are visited.
• These edges are placed into level 1
• In the second round, all the new edges that can be reached by unrolling the
  string 2 edges are visited and placed in level 2.
• This continues until every vertex has been assigned a level.
• The label of any vertex v corresponds to the length of the shortest path from s
  to v.

Applications: Finding a Path

• Find path from source vertex s to destination
  vertex d
• Use graph search starting at s and terminating as
  soon as we reach d
   – Need to remember edges traversed
• Use depth – first search ?
• Use breath – first search?

Graphs In Data Structure

  • 2. What is a Graph? • A graph G = (V,E) is composed of: V: set of vertices E: set of edges connecting the vertices in V • An edge e = (u,v) is a pair of vertices • Example: a b V= {a,b,c,d,e} E= {(a,b),(a,c), c (a,d), (b,e),(c,d),(c,e), (d,e)} d e
  • 3. Applications CS16 • electronic circuits • networks (roads, flights, communications) JFK LAX STL HNL DFW FTL
  • 4. Terminology: Adjacent and Incident • If (v0, v1) is an edge in an undirected graph, – v0 and v1 are adjacent – The edge (v0, v1) is incident on vertices v0 and v1 • If <v0, v1> is an edge in a directed graph – v0 is adjacent to v1, and v1 is adjacent from v0 – The edge <v0, v1> is incident on v0 and v1
  • 5. Terminology: Degree of a Vertex The degree of a vertex is the number of edges incident to that vertex For directed graph, the in-degree of a vertex v is the number of edges that have v as the head the out-degree of a vertex v is the number of edges that have v as the tail if di is the degree of a vertex i in a graph G with n vertices and e edges, the number of edges is n −1 ∑d ) / 2 Why? Since adjacent vertices each e =( i count the adjoining edge, it will be 0 counted twice
  • 6. Examples 0 3 2 0 1 2 3 3 3 1 2 3 3 4 5 6 31 G 1 1 G2 1 1 3 0 in:1, out: 1 directed graph in-degree out-degree 1 in: 1, out: 2 2 in: 1, out: 0 G3
  • 7. Terminology: Path • path: sequence of 3 2 vertices v1,v2,. . .vk such that consecutive vertices vi 3 and vi+1 are adjacent. 3 3 a b a b c c d e d e abedc bedc 7
  • 8. More Terminology • simple path: no repeated vertices a b bec c d e • cycle: simple path, except that the last vertex is the same as the first vertex a b acda c d e
  • 9. Even More Terminology •connected graph: any two vertices are connected by some path connected not connected • subgraph: subset of vertices and edges forming a graph • connected component: maximal connected subgraph. E.g., the graph below has 3 connected components.
  • 10. Subgraphs Examples 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 G1 (i) (ii) (iii) 3(iv) (a) Some of the subgraph of G1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (b) Some of the subgraph of G3 G3
  • 11. More… • tree - connected graph without cycles • forest - collection of trees tree tree forest tree tree
  • 12. Connectivity • Let n = #vertices, and m = #edges • A complete graph: one in which all pairs of vertices are adjacent • How many total edges in a complete graph? – Each of the n vertices is incident to n-1 edges, however, we would have counted each edge twice! Therefore, intuitively, m = n(n -1)/2. • Therefore, if a graph is not complete, m < n(n -1)/2 n=5 m = (5 ∗ 4)/2 = 10
  • 13. More Connectivity n = #vertices n=5 m = #edges m=4 • For a tree m = n - 1 If m < n - 1, G is not connected n=5 m=3
  • 14. Oriented (Directed) Graph • A graph where edges are directed
  • 15. Directed vs. Undirected Graph • An undirected graph is one in which the pair of vertices in a edge is unordered, (v0, v1) = (v1,v0) • A directed graph is one in which each edge is a directed pair of vertices, <v0, v1> != <v1,v0> tail head
  • 16. ADT for Graph objects: a nonempty set of vertices and a set of undirected edges, where each edge is a pair of vertices functions: for all graph ∈ Graph, v, v1 and v2 ∈ Vertices Graph Create()::=return an empty graph Graph InsertVertex(graph, v)::= return a graph with v inserted. v has no incident edge. Graph InsertEdge(graph, v1,v2)::= return a graph with new edge between v1 and v2 Graph DeleteVertex(graph, v)::= return a graph in which v and all edges incident to it are removed Graph DeleteEdge(graph, v1, v2)::=return a graph in which the edge (v1, v2) is removed Boolean IsEmpty(graph)::= if (graph==empty graph) return TRUE else return FALSE List Adjacent(graph,v)::= return a list of all vertices that are adjacent to v
  • 17. Graph Representations Adjacency Matrix Adjacency Lists
  • 18. Adjacency Matrix Let G=(V,E) be a graph with n vertices. The adjacency matrix of G is a two-dimensional n by n array, say adj_mat If the edge (vi, vj) is in E(G), adj_mat[i][j]=1 If there is no such edge in E(G), adj_mat[i][j]=0 The adjacency matrix for an undirected graph is symmetric; the adjacency matrix for a digraph need not be symmetric
  • 19. Examples for Adjacency Matrix 0 0 4 0 2 1 5 1 2 3 6 3 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1   7   1 0 1 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0   1    0 0 1 0 0 0 0  1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 G2   G1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0   0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 symmetric 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1   undirected: n2/2 0  0 0 0 0 0 1 0  directed: n2 G4
  • 20. Merits of Adjacency Matrix From the adjacency matrix, to determine the connection of vertices is easy n −1 The degree of a vertex is ∑ adj _ mat[i][ j ] j=0 For a digraph (= directed graph), the row sum is the out_degree, while the column sum is the in_degree n −1 n −1 ind (vi ) = ∑ A[ j , i ] outd (vi ) = ∑ A[i , j ] j =0 j =0
  • 21. Adjacency Lists (data structures) Each row in adjacency matrix is represented as an adjacency list. #define MAX_VERTICES 50 typedef struct node *node_pointer; typedef struct node { int vertex; struct node *link; }; node_pointer graph[MAX_VERTICES]; int n=0; /* vertices currently in use */

  • 23. Some Operations degree of a vertex in an undirected graph –# of nodes in adjacency list # of edges in a graph –determined in O(n+e) out-degree of a vertex in a directed graph –# of nodes in its adjacency list in-degree of a vertex in a directed graph –traverse the whole data structure
  • 24. Graph Traversal • Problem: Search for a certain node or traverse all nodes in the graph • Depth First Search – Once a possible path is found, continue the search until the end of the path • Breadth First Search – Start several paths at a time, and advance in each one step at a time
  • 25. Depth-First Search A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P
  • 26. Exploring a Labyrinth Without Getting Lost • A depth-first search (DFS) in an undirected graph G is like wandering in a labyrinth with a string and a can of red paint without getting lost. • We start at vertex s, tying the end of our string to the point and painting s “visited”. Next we label s as our current vertex called u. • Now we travel along an arbitrary edge (u, v). • If edge (u, v) leads us to an already visited vertex v we return to u. • If vertex v is unvisited, we unroll our string and move to v, paint v “visited”, set v as our current vertex, and repeat the previous steps.
  • 27. Breadth-First Search • Like DFS, a Breadth-First Search (BFS) traverses a connected component of a graph, and in doing so defines a spanning tree with several useful properties. • The starting vertex s has level 0, and, as in DFS, defines that point as an “anchor.” • In the first round, the string is unrolled the length of one edge, and all of the edges that are only one edge away from the anchor are visited. • These edges are placed into level 1 • In the second round, all the new edges that can be reached by unrolling the string 2 edges are visited and placed in level 2. • This continues until every vertex has been assigned a level. • The label of any vertex v corresponds to the length of the shortest path from s to v. 27
