CSCI 1900 Lecture Review of Directed Graphs A Digraph, G=(V, A), consists of a finite set V of objects called vertices, and a finite set A of objects called arcs between the vertices Arcs have a direction Example: V={1, 2, 3} A= { (1, 2), (3, 2) } 1 2 3

CSCI 1900 Lecture Graphs A graph, G=(V, E), consists of a finite set V of objects called vertices, and a finite set E of objects called edges Edges have no direction Example: V={1,2,3} E= { (1,2), (2,3) } 1 2 3

CSCI 1900 Lecture Connected Graph A graph is connected if there is a path (sequence of edges) between any two pairs of vertices Connected Disconnected

CSCI 1900 Lecture Cycle C3C3 C4C4 If you can start at a node and move along edges and come back to the same node the graph has a cycle

CSCI 1900 Lecture Acyclic Graphs A disconnected acyclic graph Not an acyclic graph A graph is acyclic if it has no cycles

CSCI 1900 Lecture Trees Let A be a set and let T be a relation on A. We say that T is a tree if there is a vertex v 0 with the property that there exists a unique path in T from v 0 to every other vertex in A, but no path from v 0 to v 0 -Kolman, Busby, and Ross, p. 271 Or A tree is a connected acyclic graph

CSCI 1900 Lecture Rooted Trees In computer science, we work primarily with rooted trees A rooted tree is a directed graph –Which has one vertex, v 0, called the root, with no arcs coming into it In-degree of v 0 = 0 –Any other vertex, v i, in the tree has exactly one path to it from v 0 In-degree of v i = 1 –There may be any number of paths from any vertex

CSCI 1900 Lecture Examples of Trees From this point forward, we will follow the computer science conventions –Tree means rooted tree –Edge means directed edge Using the definitions given, determine which of the following examples are trees and which are not

CSCI 1900 Lecture Definitions Level – all of the vertices located n-edges from v 0 are said to be at level n Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

CSCI 1900 Lecture More Definitions A vertex, v, is considered the parent of all of the vertices connected to it by edges leaving v A vertex, v, is considered the child of the vertex connected to the single edge entering v A vertex, v, is considered the sibling of all vertices at the same level with the same parent

CSCI 1900 Lecture More Definitions A vertex v j is considered a descendant of a vertex v i if there is a path from v i to v j The height of a tree is the number of the largest level The vertices of a tree that have no children are called leaves

CSCI 1900 Lecture Tree Example Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 v2v2 v1v1 v5v5 v3v3 v4v4 v0v0 v6v6 v7v7 v8v8 v 0 is the parent of v 1, v 2, v 3, and v 4 v 1, v 2, v 3, and v 4 are children of v 0 v 1, v 2, v 3, and v 4 are siblings v 5, v 6, v 2, v 7, v 8, and v 4 are leaves (no children) Height of the tree is 2

CSCI 1900 Lecture More Definitions If every vertex of a tree has at most n children, then the tree is considered an n-tree If every vertex of a tree with offspring has exactly n offspring, then the tree is considered a complete n-tree When n=2, the tree is a binary tree

CSCI 1900 Lecture Examples 1.If the set A = {a, b, c, d, e} represents all of the vertices for a tree T, what is the maximum possible height of T? What is the minimum possible height of T? 2.If the set A = {a, b, c, d, e} represents all of the vertices for a tree T and T is a complete binary tree, what is the maximum height of T?

CSCI 1900 Lecture Examples (cont) 3.If the height of a complete 4-tree is 3, how many leaves does this tree have?
