  • Valued graphs: Have one more factor of values attached to each line
  • Graph with Multiple Relations
  • Types
    • Image Not Found
  • Subgraph: If set of nodes & lines is subset of G
    • Node-generated subgraph: Take a subset of nodes and consider all lines that are between the nodes in the subset
      • Used in the analysis of cohesive subgroups in networks
    • Line-generated subgraph: Take a set of subset of lines and consider all nodes that are incident with the lines in the subset
      • Maximal or not with respect to some property
  • Nodal Degree
    • Degree of a node: Number of lines that are incident with it
      • Ranges from 0 to (g-1)
      • Isolate: A node with degree equal to 0
    • Mean nodal degree = 2L/g
    • d-regular graph: Degrees of all of the nodes are equal
      • Measure of uniformity
      • Zero Variance
    • Variance of the degrees
  • Order: Number of vertices contained in the graph
  • Size/Length: Number of edges contained in the graph
  • Eccentricity of the vertex: Maximum distance between a vertex to all other vertices
  • Radius: Minimum eccentricity of any vertex in the graph
  • Diameter: Maximum eccentricity of any vertex in the graph
  • Density (Δ): Proportion of possible lines that are actually present in the graph
    • Maximum possible number of lines (m) = g(g-1)/2
    • Density (Δ) = Number of lines present (L)/Maximum Possible (m)
    • Ranges from 0 (no lines present) to 1 (all lines are present)
    • Complete graph: Density equal to 1 and all nodal degrees are equal to (g–1)
    • Empty graph: L = 0
    • Density of a subgraph
  • Walks
    • A sequence of nodes and lines, starting and ending with nodes, in which each node is incident with the lines following and preceding it in the sequence
    • Length of a Walk: Number of occurrences of lines in it
    • Origin: Starting node
    • Terminus: Ending node
    • Closed walk: A walk that begins and ends at the same node
    • Cycle & Semicycle
    • Tour: A closed walk in which each line in the graph is used at least once
    • Trails
      • A walk in which all of the lines are distinct, though some nodes may be included more than once
      • Circuit: A closed Trail
      • Eulerian trails: Special closed trails that include every line exactly once
      • Hamiltonian cycle: Every node in the graph is included exactly once
      • Paths
        • A walk in which all nodes and all lines are distinct
  • Connected Graphs: If there is a path between every pair of nodes in the graph
    • Components
  • Geodesics: A shortest path between two nodes
    • Eccentricity (Association) number of a node: Largest geodesic distance between that node and any other node
    • Ranges from 1 to (g-1)
    • Diameter: Length of the largest geodesic between any pair of nodes for a connected graph
