Previous week William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition Diophantine equation |
Current week Graph (graph theory) Carl Friedrich Gauss |
Next week Euclidean algorithm Euclid |
Things that need to be added to this article:
A proper definition of a graph. ("Formally, a graphDoneis 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)
- The words that deserve their own page will be created eventually. For now, I'll just focus on integrating them into the article. I already defined path and cycle... I'll put a definition for tree in there, but I'm afraid that I don't know what some of the terms mean. Temperalxy 13:09, 4 January 2008 (EST)
- Thanks. I'll continue to make some of the satellite pages and add to this one. --JBL 12:04, 11 January 2008 (EST)
