Talk:Graph (graph theory)
AoPSWiki Words of the Week for December 6-12 | ||
Previous week William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition Diophantine equation |
Current week Graph (graph theory) Carl Friedrich Gauss |
Next week TBA |
Things that need to be added to this article:
- A proper definition of a graph. ("Formally, a graph is a pair, , of a set of vertices together with a subset of pairs of members of .")
- Directed graphs, multigraphs, loopless graphs, simple graphs, and the distinctions between these.
- "Path," "tree," "forest," "circuit" or "cycle," "Hamiltonian path" (and circuit and cycle), etc.
- To distinguish between a formal graph (a pair of two sets) and a geometric realization of a graph.
- Most of these words deserve their own page and so should be linked to.
I would have started doing this, but the first two points together are difficult to integrate into a single intro section. Help would be appreciated. --JBL 10:20, 4 January 2008 (EST)
