Graph A graph is a data structure to capture pairwise relationships amongst the objects. It is a collection of vertices and edges. In the example of “map of highways connecting cities”, cities can be represented by vertices and highways are binary relationships between cities which can be represented by edges. Thanks: Meghna 22 and Mrityunjaya 23 (MCA 202)

Directed Graphs V={v 1, v 2,…} E ⊂ V x V E: V V E ⊆ {(u, v): u, v ∈ V } E is a set of ordered pairs (u,v) of vertices from V representing an edge from u to v. v is stb the head of the arrow and u the tail. Thanks: Meghna 22 and Mrityunjaya 23 (MCA 202)

Undirected Graphs V={v 1, v 2,…} E is a collection of subsets of V of size 2. However, with a slight abuse of notation we’ll continue to write (u,v) for an undirected edge instead of {u,v} and whether (u,v) is an ordered pair or not will be clear from the context. To capture self-loops, subsets are allowed to be multisets. The edge (u, v) is stb incident on u and v. u and v are stb adjacent to each other. Thanks: Meghna 22 and Mrityunjaya 23 (MCA 202)

Thanks Neeraj Roll no-28(MCA 2012) Size of Adjacency Matrix is theta (v 2 ). We know that |E| < O (v 2 ). How? When E<< v 2 /2 i.e. when the graph is sparse, then adjacency list representtaion saves a lot of space.

Degree of a Vertex In undirected graph G, degree(u) is defined as the number of edges incident on u. In a directed graph G, in-degree (u) is the number of edges with u as the arrow head. In a directed graph G, out-degree (v) is the number of edges with u as the tail of the arrow. Thanks: Meghna 22 and Mrityunjaya 23 (MCA 202)

For an undirected graph, = 2|E| where, V is the vertex set, E denotes the set of edges of the graph and deg( v ) denotes the number of edges incident on vertex v. Proof : Base case: For a graph with only one vertex, deg( v 1 )=0 which is true as the number of edges are zero and therefore, 2|E| =0. Thanks Neelakshi Dang Roll No. 27 (MCA 2012) v1v1

For a graph with two vertex, Case(i) : when both vertex are disconnected, = deg(v 1 )+ deg(v 2 )=0 which is true as the number of edges for the graph is zero and therefore, 2|E| =0. Case(ii): when both vertex are connected, = deg(v 1 )+ deg(v 2 )= 1+1 =2 which is true as the number of edges for the graph is one therefore, 2|E| = 2(1) = 2.

Induction Hypothesis: Let the hypothesis hold for every graph of vertex size n, Let G be a graph with (n+1) vertices. Remove a vertex v* and all the edges incident on it, i.e. remove deg(v*) edges incident on v*, resulting in a graph G’ with n vertices. → = 2|E(G’)|by I.H. - Thanks Neelakshi Dang Roll No. 27 (MCA 2012) 1

Let deg(v*) = l, and let v 1, v 2, …, v l be the neighbors of v* in G, then deg G’ (v i ) = deg G (v i ) – 1, i = 1,2, …, l _ and deg G’ (v i ) = deg G (v i ), v≠v i → |E(G’)| = |E(G)| - l - From and, + = 2|E(G’)| → = 2|E(G’)|+ l - Thanks Neelakshi Dang Roll No. 27 (MCA 2012)

Adding deg(v*) to both sides of eq., we get = + deg G (v*) = 2|E(G’)|+ l + l = 2|E(G’)|+ 2 l = 2|E(G’)+ l | = 2|E(G)| (using ) Hence Proved. Thanks Neelakshi Dang Roll No. 27 (MCA 2012) 4 3

Acyclic Graph: A Graph with no cycles Thanks: Meghna 22 and Mrityunjaya 23 (MCA 202) A graph with no cycles

A connected graph with no cycles is called a tree. Thanks Nakul kumar Roll No.24,Navneet kumar Roll No.25(MCA 2012)

Three equivalent statements about trees T is a tree i.e. T is a connected acyclic graph. T is a connected graph with n-1 edges. There is a unique path between every pair of vertices. Thanks: Meghna 22 and Mrityunjaya 23 (MCA 202)

Claim- A tree with n vertices has exactly (n-1) edges. Proof-: Base Case: for n=1. no. of edges =0. For n=2 No. of edges=1. Therefore, it holds true for n=1 and n=2. Induction Hypothesis: Let it be true for every tree with ≤ n vertices. Thanks Nakul kumar Roll No.24,Navneet kumar Roll No.25(MCA 2012)

Let T be a tree with n+1 vertices. Thanks Nakul kumar Roll No.24,Navneet kumar Roll No.25(MCA 2012)

After removing this edge we get two separate trees T1 and T2, such that E(T 1 ) U E(T 2 ) = E(T) – e and |V(T 1 )| ≤ n and |V(T 2 )| ≤ n |E(T 1 )| = |V(T 1 )|-1 (by induction hypothesis) |E(T 2 )| = |V(T 2 )|-1 ( by induction hypothesis) So, |E(T)| = |E(T 1 )|+|E(T 2 )|+1 |E(T)| = (|V(T 1 )|-1) + (|V(T 2 )|-1) + 1 = |V(T 1 )| + |V(T 2 )| - 1 = | V(T)| - 1 = n+1-1 = n Hence proved. Ex: Prove the converse i..e a connected graph with n-1 edges is acyclic. Thanks Nakul kumar Roll No.24,Navneet kumar Roll No.25(MCA 2012)

Exercise: Prove that T is a tree iff there exists a unique simple path between every pair of vertices. Proof: Using the definition of tree, If T is a tree, it is connected, i.e there exists some path between every pair of vertices. Suppose if possible, there exists two distinct paths between some pair of vertices ‘u’ and ‘v’. Thanks Nakul kumar Roll No.24,Navneet kumar Roll No.25(MCA 2012)

Without loss of generality, we assume that there is no common vertex between them. So, this shows there exists a cycle, which contradicts the definition of tree. Hence, a contradiction. Assignment: Prove the converse. Thanks Nakul kumar Roll No.24,Navneet kumar Roll No.25(MCA 2012)
