Module 12: Graphs Final Review
What are the different graph traversals?
Breadth First Traversal Depth First Traversal
adjacent vertices
IN AN UNDIRECTED GRAPH: vertices are adjacent if they are joined by an edge IN AN DIRECTED GRAPH: vertex A is adjacent to vertex B if a directed edge begins at B and ends at A - Adjacent vertices are called neighbors
Is MCQ a path or cycle?
No, cycle because it is open ended
Is ABCADEA a cycle?
No, false it is not, bc we revisit A again in the middle (only start and end can be the same node)
Whats is the Big Oh for BFS
O(V + E) when Adjacency List is used and O(V^2) when Adjacency Matrix is used,
What is the time complexity expressed as in BFS?
O(|V| + |E|) -Every vertex and edge will be explored in the worst case
What do matrix and list represent?
They represent edges
Connected graph
a graph that has a path between every pair of distinct vertices
Complete graph
a graph that has an edge between every pair of disticnt vertices - a complete graph is ALWAYS a connected graph
Path
a sequence of vertices, p₀, p₁,..., such that each adjacent pair of vertices are connected by an edge
Cycle
a simple path with no repeated vertices or edges other than the starting and ending vertices. a cycle in a directed graph is called a directed cycle -simple path with no repeated vertices or edges other than the starting and ending vertices( cycle in directed graph = directed cycle)
What is an adjacency matrix?
a square grid of true/false values that represent the edges of a graph
What is the difference between a tree and a graph?
a tree is a special type of graph without a cycle
What is the graph implemented list?
adjacency list
What happens once the adjacent matrix has been set?
an application can examine locations of the matrix to determine which edges are present and which are missing
Loop
an edge that connects a vertex to itself
Why do we use graphs?
are used to address real-world problems in which it represents the problem area as a network like telephone networks, circuit networks, and social networks
What are the two common implementations of a graph?
array or list
What are Depth First Traversals used for?
can be used to detect cycles in a graph
What can undirected graphs be like?
connected, complete or disconnected
What is a directed graph?
each edge is associated with two vertices, called source and target. -the order of the two connected vertices are important
In what type of graph does the BFS give shortest path?
in unweighted graphs, BFS gives the shorotest path between two nodes u and v, where the path length is measured by number of edges.
What is a weighted graph?
it has values on its edges, values are called either weights or costs (values = weights / costs)
Breadth-First Traversal
level order, queue, visits the origin and the origins neighbors -then it considers each of these neighbors and visits their neighbors this traversal uses queues to hold the visited vertices. -BFS can find the shortest path between origin and any node
What's the difference between loop and cycle?
loop is with itself and cycle is going back to source node
If a DIRECTED grpah has n vertices, What is the maximum number of edges that the directed graph can have?
n (n-1) edges if the graph is directed
If and UNDIRECTED graph has n vertices, What is the maximum number of edges that the undirected graph can have?
n(n-1)/ 2 edges if the graph is undirected
Whats a recursive implementation of DFS
procedure DFS(G,v): label v as discovered for all edges from v to w in G.adjacentEdges(v) do if vertex w is not labeled as discovered then recursively call DFS(G,w)
What happens if a graph contains n vertices?
the grid then contains n rows and n columns
What is a graph?
the most general data structure, most commonly used data structures, non-linear consisting of nodes and edges between nodes - G =(V,E) - where V is a set of vertices (nodes) and E is a set of edges
What is an undirected graph?
think of it as a set of nodes and a set of links between the nodes. as a directed graph with two edges
If two vertex numbers i and j, are component at row i and column j , is there an edge from vertex i to vertex j?
true, yes otherwise the component is false
What is the graph implmented array?
two-dimensional array called an adjacency matrix
What are the dif types of graphs
undirected, directed
What is the origin vertex?
vertex that a graph traversal starts from
Depth First Traversal
visits the origin, then a neighbor of the origin, and a neighbor of the neighbor. it continues in this fashion until it finds no unvisited neighbor -backing up by one vertex, it considers another neighbor -uses stack, can implement recursively to expand deepest unvisited nodes
What happened to the matric is a graph is UNDIRECTED
we can say the matrix is symmetrical
What can we use to store an adjacent matrix?
we can use a two-dimensional array, boolean[][] adjacent = new boolean [4][4];
How do we represent a graph with adjacency list?
•A directed graph with n vertices can be represented by n different linked lists. •List number i provides the connections for vertex i. •For each entry j in list number i, there is an edge from i to j.
