Graph
What is a Graph?
A graph is a Non-Linear Data Structure which consists of set of nodes called vertices V and
set of edges E which links vertices. The set of edges describes relationships among the
vertices.
Formal definition of Graph
A graph G is defined as follows:
G=(V,E)
V(G): a finite, nonempty set of vertices
E(G): a set of edges (pairs of vertices)
Directed vs. undirected Graph
When the edges in a graph have no direction, the graph is called undirected
UNDIRECTED GRAPH
When the edges in a graph have a direction, the graph is called directed (or digraph). If
the graph is directed, the order of the vertices in each edge is important.
DIRECTED GRAPH
Graph vs. Tree

Trees are special cases of graphs.
GRAPH TERMINOLOGY
Adjacent nodes: Two nodes are adjacent if they are connected by an edge.
5 is adjacent to 7
7 is adjacent from 5
Path: A sequence of vertices that connect two nodes in a graph

Complete graph: A graph in which every vertex is directly connected to every other
vertex.
What is the number of edges in a complete directed graph with N vertices?
N * (N-1)
What is the number of edges in a complete undirected graph with N vertices?

N * (N-1) / 2
Weighted graph: A graph in which each edge carries a value.
Sequential Representation of Graphs

ADJACENCY MATRIX
The most frequently used graph representation scheme is the adjacency matrix also referred
as incidence matrix. A graph containing n vertices can be represented by a matrix with n
rows and n columns. The matrix is formed by storing 1 in its ithrow and jth column of the
matrix, if there exists an edge between ith and jth vertex of the graph, and a 0, if there is no
edge between ith and jth vertex of the graph.

A schematic diagram of a linked representation of G in memory. Specifically, the linked

representation will contain two lists (or files), a node list NODE and an edge list EDGE, as
follows.
GRAPH IMPLEMENTATION
Array-based implementation
A 1D array is used to represent the vertices.
A 2D array (adjacency matrix) is used to represent the edges.
Linked-list implementation
A 1D array is used to represent the vertices.
A list is used for each vertex v which contains the vertices which are adjacent
from v (adjacency list).
GRAPH SEARCHING
Methods: Depth-First-Search (DFS) or Breadth-First-Search (BFS).
Depth-First-Search (DFS)
What is the idea behind DFS?
Travel as far as you can down a path
4
Back up as little as possible when you reach a "dead end" (i.e., next vertex
has been "marked" or there is no next vertex).
DFS can be implemented efficiently using a stack.
Breadth-First-Searching (BFS)
What is the idea behind BFS?
Look at all possible paths at the same depth before you go at a deeper level.
Back up as far as possible when you reach a "dead end" (i.e., next vertex has
been "marked" or there is no next vertex).
BFS can be implemented efficiently using a queue.
