citations missing date January 2008 In graphtheory , the term cycle may refer to a closed path graphtheory path . If repeated vertex graphtheory vertices are allowed, it is more often called a closed walk . If the path is a simple path, with no repeated vertices or edges other than the starting and ending vertices, it may also be called a simple cycle , circuit , circle , or polygon see Cyclegraph . A cycle in a directed graph is called a directed cycle. The term cycle may also refer to An element of the binary or integral or real, complex, etc. cycle space of a graph. This is the usage closest to that in the rest of mathematics, in particular algebraic topology . Such a cycle may be called a binary cycle , integral cycle , etc. An edge set that has even degree at every vertex also called an even edge set or, when taken together with its vertices, an even subgraph . This is equivalent to a binary cycle, since a binary cycle is the indicator function of an edge set of this type. Chordless cycle s in a graph are sometimes called graph holes . A graph antihole is the complement graph complement of a graph hole. Cycle detection A graph has a cycle if and only if depth first search produces a back edge. ref cite book last Tucker first Alan title Applied Combinatorics year 2006 publisher John Wiley & sons location Hoboken isbn 978 0 471 73507 8 edition 5th ed. page 49 chapter Chapter 2 Covering Circuits and Graph Colorings ref This is true for both directed and undirected graphs. In the case of undirected graphs, only O n time is required, since at most n 1 edges can be tree edges where n is the number of vertices . In the case of directed graphs, topological sorting algorithms will usually detect cycles too, since those are obstacles for topological order to exist.

Orphan date February 2009 The product life cycletheory is an economic theory that was developed by Raymond Vernon in response to the failure of the Heckscher Ohlin model to explain the observed pattern of international trade . The theory suggests that early in a product s life cycle all the parts and labor associated with that product come from the area in which it was invented. After the product becomes adopted and used in the world markets, production gradually moves away from the point of origin. In some situations, the product becomes an item that is imported by its original country of invention. ref cite book last Hill first Charles authorlink Charles Hill title International Business Competing in the Global Marketplace 6th ed. publisher McGraw Hill year 2007 pages 168 doi isbn 978 0 07 310255 9 ref A commonly used example of this is the invention, growth and production of the personal computer with respect to the United States . The model applies to labor saving and capital using products that at least at first cater to high income groups. In the new product stage, the product is produced and consumed in the US no export trade occurs. In the maturing product stage, mass production techniques are developed and foreign demand in developed countries expands the US now exports the product to other developed countries. In the standardized product stage, production moves to developing countries, which then export the product to developed countries. The model demonstrates dynamic comparative advantage . The country that has the comparative advantage in the production of the product changes from the innovating developed country to the developing countries.

In graphtheory , a branch of mathematics, the rank of an undirected graph is defined as the number math n &minus c , where math n is the number of vertex graphtheory vertices and math c is the number of Connected component graphtheory connected components of the graph. Equivalently, the rank of a graph is the rank linear algebra rank of the oriented incidence matrix associated with the graph. Analogously, the nullity of an undirected graph is the Kernel matrix nullity of its incidence matrix, given by the formula math m &minus n c , where n and c are as above and m is the number of edges in the graph. The nullity is equal to the first Betti number of the graph. The sum of the rank and the nullity is the number of edges.

In the mathematics mathematical area of graphtheory , a cage is a regular graph that has as few vertex graphtheory vertices as possible for its girth graphtheory girth . Formally, an r , g graph is defined to be a graph in which each vertex has exactly r neighbors, and in which the shortest cyclegraphcycle has length exactly g . It is known that an r , g graph exists for any combination of r 2 and g 3. An r , g cage is an r , g graph with the fewest possible number of vertices, among all r , g graphs.

Extremal graphtheory is a branch of the mathematics mathematical field of graphtheory . Extremal graphtheory studies extremal maximal or minimal Graph mathematics graphs which satisfy a certain property. Extremality can be taken with respect to different graph invariant s, such as order, size or girth. More abstractly, it studies how global properties of a graph influence local substructures of the graph. ref harvnb Diestel 2005 ref For example, a simple extremal graphtheory question is which Forest graphtheory acyclic graph s on n vertices have the maximum number of edges? The extremal graphs for this question are tree graphtheory trees on n vertices, which have n   &minus   1 edges. ref Harvnb Bollob s 2004 p 9 ref More generally, a typical question is the following. Given a graph .... Thus every graph on n vertices with more than n   &minus   1 edges must contain a cycle.

In the graph on the right, the maximum degree is 5 and the minimum degree is 0. In a regular graph , all degrees are the same, and so we can speak of the degree of the graph. Handshaking lemma main handshaking lemma The degree sum formula states that, given a graph math G V, E math , math sum v in V deg v 2 E , . math The formula implies that in any graph, the number of vertices with odd degree is even.
