Turán Graph
The Turán graph, denoted by T(n,r), is a complete multipartite graph; it is formed by partitioning a set of n vertices into r subsets, with sizes as equal as possible, and then connecting two vertices by an edge if and only if they belong to different subsets. Where q and s are the quotient and remainder of dividing n by r (so n = qr + s), the graph is of the form K_, and the number of edges is : \left(1 - \frac\right)\frac + . For r\le7, this edge count can be more succinctly stated as \left\lfloor\left(1-\frac1r\right)\frac2\right\rfloor. The graph has s subsets of size q+ 1 , and r - s subsets of size q; each vertex has degree n-q-1 or n-q. It is a regular graph if n is divisible by r (i.e. when s=0). Turán's theorem Turán graphs are named after Pál Turán, who used them to prove Turán's theorem, an important result in extremal graph theory. By the pigeonhole principle, every set of ''r'' + 1 vertices in the Turán graph includes two vertices in the same part ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Turan 13-4
Turan (; ; , , ) is a historical region in Central Asia. The term is of Iranian origin and may refer to a particular prehistoric human settlement, a historic geographical region, or a culture. The original Turanians were an Iranian tribe of the Avestan age. Overview In ancient Iranian mythology, Tūr or Turaj (''Tuzh'' in Middle Persian) is the son of the emperor Fereydun. According to the account in the ''Shahnameh'', the nomadic tribes who inhabited these lands were ruled by Tūr. In that sense, the Turanians could be members of two Iranian peoples both descending from Fereydun, but with different geographical domains and often at war with each other. Turan, therefore, comprised five areas: the Kopet Dag region, the Atrek valley, parts of Bactria, Sogdia and Margiana. A later association of the original Turanians with Turkic peoples is based primarily on the subsequent Turkification of Central Asia, including the above areas. According to C. E. Bosworth, however ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Complete Bipartite Graph
In the mathematical field of graph theory, a complete bipartite graph or biclique is a special kind of bipartite graph where every vertex of the first set is connected to every vertex of the second set..Electronic edition page 17. Graph theory itself is typically dated as beginning with Leonhard Euler's 1736 work on the Seven Bridges of Königsberg. However, drawings of complete bipartite graphs were already printed as early as 1669, in connection with an edition of the works of Ramon Llull edited by Athanasius Kircher. Llull himself had made similar drawings of complete graphs three centuries earlier.. Definition A complete bipartite graph is a graph whose vertices can be partitioned into two subsets and such that no edge has both endpoints in the same subset, and every possible edge that could connect vertices in different subsets is part of the graph. That is, it is a bipartite graph such that for every two vertices and, is an edge in . A complete bipartite graph w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Graph Drawing
Graph drawing is an area of mathematics and computer science combining methods from geometric graph theory and information visualization to derive two-dimensional depictions of graph (discrete mathematics), graphs arising from applications such as social network analysis, cartography, linguistics, and bioinformatics. A drawing of a graph or network diagram is a pictorial representation of the vertex (graph theory), vertices and edge (graph theory), edges of a graph. This drawing should not be confused with the graph itself: very different layouts can correspond to the same graph., p. 6. In the abstract, all that matters is which pairs of vertices are connected by edges. In the concrete, however, the arrangement of these vertices and edges within a drawing affects its understandability, usability, fabrication cost, and aesthetics. The problem gets worse if the graph changes over time by adding and deleting edges (dynamic graph drawing) and the goal is to preserve the user's men ...

Geometric Graph Theory
Geometric graph theory in the broader sense is a large and amorphous subfield of graph theory, concerned with graphs defined by geometric means. In a stricter sense, geometric graph theory studies combinatorial and geometric properties of geometric graphs, meaning graphs drawn in the Euclidean plane with possibly intersecting straight-line edges, and topological graphs, where the edges are allowed to be arbitrary continuous curves connecting the vertices; thus, it can be described as "the theory of geometric and topological graphs" (Pach 2013). Geometric graphs are also known as spatial networks. Different types of geometric graphs A '' planar straight-line graph'' is a graph in which the vertices are embedded as points in the Euclidean plane, and the edges are embedded as non-crossing line segments. Fáry's theorem states that any planar graph may be represented as a planar straight line graph. A triangulation is a planar straight line graph to which no more edges may be a ...

Eigenvalue
In linear algebra, an eigenvector ( ) or characteristic vector is a vector that has its direction unchanged (or reversed) by a given linear transformation. More precisely, an eigenvector \mathbf v of a linear transformation T is scaled by a constant factor \lambda when the linear transformation is applied to it: T\mathbf v=\lambda \mathbf v. The corresponding eigenvalue, characteristic value, or characteristic root is the multiplying factor \lambda (possibly a negative or complex number). Geometrically, vectors are multi-dimensional quantities with magnitude and direction, often pictured as arrows. A linear transformation rotates, stretches, or shears the vectors upon which it acts. A linear transformation's eigenvectors are those vectors that are only stretched or shrunk, with neither rotation nor shear. The corresponding eigenvalue is the factor by which an eigenvector is stretched or shrunk. If the eigenvalue is negative, the eigenvector's direction is reversed. Th ...

Chromatic Polynomial
The chromatic polynomial is a graph polynomial studied in algebraic graph theory, a branch of mathematics. It counts the number of graph colorings as a function of the number of colors and was originally defined by George David Birkhoff to study the four color problem. It was generalised to the Tutte polynomial by Hassler Whitney and W. T. Tutte, linking it to the Potts model of statistical physics. History George David Birkhoff introduced the chromatic polynomial in 1912, defining it only for planar graphs, in an attempt to prove the four color theorem. If P(G, k) denotes the number of proper colorings of ''G'' with ''k'' colors then one could establish the four color theorem by showing P(G, 4)>0 for all planar graphs ''G''. In this way he hoped to apply the powerful tools of analysis and algebra for studying the roots of polynomials to the combinatorial coloring problem. Hassler Whitney generalised Birkhoff’s polynomial from the planar case to general graphs in 1932. In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Disjoint Union
In mathematics, the disjoint union (or discriminated union) A \sqcup B of the sets and is the set formed from the elements of and labelled (indexed) with the name of the set from which they come. So, an element belonging to both and appears twice in the disjoint union, with two different labels. A disjoint union of an indexed family of sets (A_i : i\in I) is a set A, often denoted by \bigsqcup_ A_i, with an injective function, injection of each A_i into A, such that the image (mathematics), images of these injections form a Partition (set theory), partition of A (that is, each element of A belongs to exactly one of these images). A disjoint union of a family of pairwise disjoint sets is their Union (set theory), union. In category theory, the disjoint union is the coproduct of the category of sets, and thus defined up to a bijection. In this context, the notation \coprod_ A_i is often used. The disjoint union of two sets A and B is written with infix notation as A \sq ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cograph
In graph theory, a cograph, or complement-reducible graph, or ''P''4-free graph, is a graph that can be generated from the single-vertex graph ''K''1 by complementation and disjoint union. That is, the family of cographs is the smallest class of graphs that includes ''K''1 and is closed under complementation and disjoint union. Cographs have been discovered independently by several authors since the 1970s; early references include , , , and . They have also been called D*-graphs, hereditary Dacey graphs (after the related work of James C. Dacey Jr. on orthomodular lattices), and 2-parity graphs. They have a simple structural decomposition involving disjoint union and complement graph operations that can be represented concisely by a labeled tree and used algorithmically to efficiently solve many problems such as finding a maximum clique that are hard on more general graph classes. Special types of cograph include complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs, cluster graphs, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Maximal Clique
In graph theory, a clique ( or ) is a subset of vertices of an undirected graph such that every two distinct vertices in the clique are adjacent. That is, a clique of a graph G is an induced subgraph of G that is complete. Cliques are one of the basic concepts of graph theory and are used in many other mathematical problems and constructions on graphs. Cliques have also been studied in computer science: the task of finding whether there is a clique of a given size in a graph (the clique problem) is NP-complete, but despite this hardness result, many algorithms for finding cliques have been studied. Although the study of complete subgraphs goes back at least to the graph-theoretic reformulation of Ramsey theory by , the term ''clique'' comes from , who used complete subgraphs in social networks to model cliques of people; that is, groups of people all of whom know each other. Cliques have many other applications in the sciences and particularly in bioinformatics. Definitions ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Graphs With Few Cliques
In graph theory, a class of graphs is said to have few cliques if every member of the class has a polynomial number of maximal cliques.Prisner, E. (1995). Graphs with Few Cliques. In Y. Alavi & A. Schwenk (Eds.), Graph theory, combinatorics, and algorithms: proceedings of the Seventh Quadrennial International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Graphs' (pp. 945–956). New York, N. Y: Wiley. Certain generally NP-hard computational problems are solvable in polynomial time on such classes of graphs, making graphs with few cliques of interest in computational graph theory, network analysis, and other branches of applied mathematics. Informally, a family of graphs has few cliques if the graphs do not have a large number of large clusters. Definition A ''clique'' of a graph is a complete subgraph, while a ''maximal clique'' is a clique that is not properly contained in another clique. One can regard a clique as a cluster of vertices, since they are by definition all connec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
